Chemical Hygiene: What Your Chemical Hygiene Plan Must Include to Ensure Safety & Legal Compliance
Chemical Hygiene Webinar Recording
Since 1990, OSHA has required facilities engaged in the use of chemicals in a laboratory to develop and implement a written chemical hygiene plan (CHP).
This standard mandates that companies set forth procedures, equipment, PPE, work practices, training, and policies to help protect employees from the health hazards presented by hazardous chemicals used in their workplace. Join us on May 17 for an in-depth webinar to make sure your CHP is up to date and OSHA-compliant. And be sure to bring your managers, supervisors, and team leaders along.
You and your colleagues will learn:
- How to make certain that you’re in compliance with the standard, and who in your workplace is covered
- What your CHP must include, and how to create effective standard operating procedures
- The specific control measures—from engineering to PPE—you must include in your CHP
- Where to source information on chemicals, and how be sure your library of Material Safety Data Sheets is complete and current
- How to designate a Chemical Hygiene Officer and assign responsibilities for routinely reviewing the CHP to make needed modifications
- How to provide site-wide annual training for employees and create the complete training documentation needed during OSHA inspections
- The particular precautions you must take when dealing with toxic substances, carcinogens, and other hazardous chemicals in the workplace
