Chemical Hygiene/ Laboratory Safety	Laboratory Safety Compliance 1910.1450(a)(2)(i) For any OSHA health standard, only the requirement to limit employee exposure to the specific permissible exposure limit shall apply for laboratories, unless that particular standard states otherwise or unless the conditions of paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section apply. This requires AU to develop a Chemical Hygiene Plan. Correlated with that is the Laboratory Safety Manual which aids the laboratory user in specific AU requirements. Every LS/PI per lab is required to develop their own Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Engineering safety is included in the CHP (Chemical Hygiene Plan). Engineering lab LS/PI’s develop their own SOP’s. Please refer to these manuals or call EH&S for guidance when working in an engineering lab.
