ABSTRACT

NO matter how large or small your laboratory, safety plays a key role in maintaining worker well-being and achieving compliance with applicable Health, Safety, and Environmental Standards. Laboratories are required to com­ ply with OSH A, under 29 CFR 1910.1450, which mandates a Chemical Hygiene/Chemical Hazard Plan (CHP). Laborato­ ries must comply with several environmental regulations and/or local agency requirements, but only those require­ ments specifically required by OSHA are discussed below.
