Chemical Hygiene Plan Template
All MIT Departments, Laboratories, and Centers that engage in
the laboratory use of hazardous chemicals are required to prepare
a Chemical Hygiene Plan that meets the requirements of
the U.S.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) “Laboratory
Standard” and MIT policies and required procedures. Chemical
Hygiene Plans are written documents that establish the administrative
measures and standard operating procedures for safely and responsibly
using chemical materials in laboratories.
To assist those Departments, Laboratories, and
Centers that must prepare a Chemical Hygiene Plan, the MIT Environment,
Health and Safety (EHS) Office has prepared a Chemical
Hygiene Plan Template. This Template provides a customizable Chemical
Hygiene Plan that meets the Institute’s requirements
for the use of common laboratory chemicals and procedures. The
Template also provides assistance in the development of specialized
standard operating procedures to accommodate the unique materials
and procedures in specific laboratories.
Frequently asked questions on how to use the Chemical Hygiene Plan Template
is contained in the Chemical
Hygiene Plan Template FAQ.
Additional guidance on preparing a Chemical Hygiene Plan can be found in the CHP Preparer's Guide.
