SWAG视频 Chemical Hygiene Plan
The SWAG视频 Chemical Hygiene Plan (PDF)is an OSHA required document that all labs must have readily accessible. Per OSHA.gov: 鈥淥SHA鈥檚 Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories standard (29 CFR 1910.1450), referred to as the Laboratory standard, specifies the mandatory requirements of a Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) to protect laboratory workers from harm due to hazardous chemicals. The CHP is a written program stating the policies, procedures, and responsibilities that protect workers from the health hazards associated with the hazardous chemicals used in that particular workplace.鈥 The SWAG视频 Chemical Hygiene Plan is a template for all labs to use and add their SOP鈥檚 to as needed. Please print this plan, update the cover sheet to reflect your lab鈥檚 specific information, and have on hand in your lab area.
