Chemical Safety

Chemical Hygiene Plan

The purpose of the Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) is to outline laboratory work practices and procedures which are necessary to ensure that members of the university community are protected from health hazards associated with chemicals with which they work. Campus departments that use hazardous chemicals are required to have a Chemical Hygiene Plan. The campus CHP may be used, or a departmental CHP can be drafted and adhered to as long as it is as strict, or stricter than the campus CHP.
