Chemical Hygiene

Chemical Hygiene/Exposure To Hazardous Chemicals In Laboratories

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard on occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals in laboratories (29CFR1910.1450) covers all laboratories engaged in the laboratory use of chemicals. The University's Chemical Hygiene Plan is a boiler plate document that will cover the major activities conducted at University laboratories. In some circumstances special procedures will need to be developed for a laboratory and attached in an appendix to the University's Chemical Hygiene program. For an evaluation of your laboratories compliance with this standard or for assistance in developing special procedures applicable to your laboratory, contact the Occupational Safety and Health Division at 410.706.3490.

The Environmental Health and Safety office also offers training on the University's Chemical Hygiene program. Each employee engaged in laboratory must attend this training. For information on training dates please click HERE.
