The Chemical Hygiene Plan provides certain procedures for health and safety standard operating procedures (SOPs) that apply to laboratory work involving the use of hazardous chemicals, hazardous biological materials, and/or operations with a high degree of risk.
SOPs have been prepared so as to standardize the response thereby adding a higher level of safety to achieve a predictable outcome.
Additional procedures may be necessary for labs with health and safety hazards greater than those presented in the Chemical Hygiene Plan.
A properly functioning chemical fume hood is an important safety device in a laboratory. The chemical hood protects users from inhalation hazards by constantly pulling air into the hood and exhausting it out of the building. Chemical hoods can also provide some protection in the event of an explosion or fire. This form provides guidance on the usage of chemical fume hoods at Ferris State University (FSU).
