Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

Labs are required to create SOPs to document work with hazardous chemicals (biological, chemical or radiological), operations requiring prior approval, or working with hazardous laboratory equipment/instrumentation.  SOP's are required to be laboratory specific and should reflect how the lab is using the chemical(s), equipment, or instrumentation.

EHS has a template available for labs to assist them in making a SOP.  I recommend putting the information in a Word Document and copying the material to the template.  
 

CBC Safety Inspections

In addition to yearly EHS inspections and monthly PPE inspections, I will conduct my own safety inspections of each CBC lab.  

Information on what will be addressed during the inspection.
