UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLANDCHEMICAL HYGIENE PLANAWARENESS CERTIFICATIONThe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) require that laboratoryemployees be made aware of the Chemical Hygiene Plan at their place of employment (29CFR 1910.1450).The University of New England, Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Materials SafetyManual, serves as the written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for laboratories usingchemicals at University of New England. The CHP is a regular, continuing effort, not astandby or short term activity. Departments, divisions, sections, or other work unitsengaged in laboratory work whose hazards are not sufficiently covered in this writtenmanual must customize it by adding their own sections as appropriate (e.g. standardoperating procedures, emergency procedures, identifying activities requiring priorapproval).After reading the University of New England, Chemical Hygiene Plan and HazardousMaterial Safety Manual, complete and return a copy of this form to the University Directorof Environmental Health & Safety. By signing below you acknowledge that you are awareof the Chemical Hygiene Plan and the policies and procedures applicable to the videadditionallaboratory/department information and training as appropriate.Please type or print legibly.Name:Work Phone:Student or staff PRN number:Email address:Department:Job Classification (if employee):Building:Room:Supervisor, instructor, or P. I. for your work area:Signature:Date:Completed CHP Awareness Certifications are to be filed in a central administrative locationwithin the staff member’s department. These and all safety training records should beorganized in a way that allows original records to be retrieved quickly and efficiently onrequest by an OSHA inspector or a EH&S staff member, and to be retrieved for a singlestaff member or for an entire work group (identified by supervisor).i

PART ITHE OSHA LABORATORY STANDARDANDUNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLANDCHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN

THE OSHA LABORATORY STANDARDThe basis for this standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) is a determination by the Occupational Safetyand Health Administration (OSHA), after careful review of the complete rule-making record,that laboratories typically differ from industrial operations in their use and handling ofhazardous chemicals and that a different approach than that found in OSHA's substancespecific health standards is warranted to protect workers. The final standard applies to alllaboratories that use hazardous chemicals in accordance with the definitions of laboratory useand laboratory scale provided in the standard.Generally, where this standard applies it supersedes the provisions of all other standards in 29CFR, part 1910, subpart Z, except in specific instances identified by this standard. Forlaboratories covered by this standard, the obligation to maintain employee exposures at orbelow the permissible exposure limits (PELs) specified in 29 CFR, part 1910, subpart Z isretained. However, the manner in which this obligation is achieved will be determined by eachemployer through the formulation and implementation of a Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP).The CHP must include the necessary work practices, procedures and policies to ensure thatemployees are protected from all potentially hazardous chemicals used or stored in their workarea. Hazardous chemicals as defined by the final standard include, not only chemicalsregulated in 29 CFR part 1910, subpart Z, but also any chemical meeting the definition ofhazardous chemical with respect to health hazards as defined in OSHA's HazardCommunication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200(c).Among other requirements, the final standard provides for employee training and information,medical consultation and examination, hazard identification, respirator use and record keeping.To the extent possible, the standard allows a large measure of flexibility in compliance methods.Effective Date: May 1, 1990. Compliance Date: Employers shall have completed an appropriateChemical Hygiene Plan and commenced carrying out its provisions by January 31, 1991.EMPLOYEE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIESEmployees have the right to be informed about the known physical and health hazards of thechemical substances in their work areas and to be properly trained to work safely with thesesubstances.Employees have the right to file a complaint with OSHA if they feel they are being exposed tounsafe or unhealthy work conditions. Employees cannot be discharged, suspended, orotherwise discriminated against by their employer because of filing a complaint, or exercisingtheir rights under the law.Employees have the responsibility to attend UNE Sponsored, annual web based trainingseminars on the Laboratory Standard and Chemical Hygiene Plan and to stay informed aboutthe chemicals used in their work areas. They have the responsibility to use safe work practicesand protective equipment required for safe performance of their job. Finally they have theresponsibility to inform their supervisors of accidents and conditions or work practices theybelieve to be a hazard to their health or to the health of others.2

HAZARDOUS CHEMICALSThe Laboratory Standard defines a hazardous chemical as any element, chemical compound, ormixture of elements and/or compounds which is a physical or health hazard.A chemical is a physical hazard if there is scientifically valid evidence that it is a flammable, acombustible liquid, a compressed gas, an explosive, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer,pyrophoric, unstable material (reactive), or water-reactive.A chemical is a health hazard if there is statistically significant evidence based on at least onestudy conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic healtheffects may occur in exposed employees. Included are: carcinogens teratogens (reproductive toxins) sensitizers neurotoxins (nerve) hepatotoxins (liver) agentsthatactonthehematopoietic system (blood) irritantscorrosivesradioactive materialbiohazardsnephrotoxins (kidney)agents that damage the lungs,skin, eyes, or mucous membranesSee Appendix I, Glossary, for definitions of these terms.In most cases, the label will indicate if the chemical is hazardous. Look for key words likecaution, hazardous, toxic, dangerous, corrosive, irritant, carcinogen, etc. Old containers ofhazardous chemicals (i.e., before 1985) may not contain hazard warnings.If you are not sure a chemical you are using is hazardous, review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)or contact your supervisor, instructor, or the Department of Environmental Health & Safety(EH&S).Designated areas must be established and posted for work with certain chemicals and mixtures(Appendix G), which include select carcinogens, teratogens, and/or substances which have ahigh degree of acute toxicity. A designated area may be the entire laboratory, an area of alaboratory or a device such as a laboratory hood. Designated area stickers are available fromEH&S.SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDSs)A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document containing chemical hazard and safe handlinginformation prepared in accordance with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. Asample SDS is included at the end of Part I.Chemical manufacturers and distributors must provide a SDS the first time a hazardouschemical/product is shipped to a facility. Many manufacturers and distributors considerUniversity of New England the facility.Each Laboratory must obtain and maintain a current SDS for every hazardous chemical in theirlaboratory inventory.The Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S), Facilities Management Building,Document Room, is a central repository for SDSs. If you want to review an SDS, contact yoursupervisor, instructor, or EH&S (#2488/#2791). If you need an SDS for your work area file,contact the chemical supplier or EH&S.3

CHEMICAL INVENTORIESUNE maintains a Campus wide inventory through the Vertere Chemical Inventory Program(VCIP). COP and Chemistry enter their own inventories into VCIP while EH&S entersinventories for all other departments. The Department of Environmental Health & Safety mayrequire that a chemical inventory be prepared for a room, work unit, or department.4
