Revised November 2019 All laboratory chemical use areas must maintain a work-area specific Chemical Hygiene Plan which conforms to the requirements of the OSHA Laboratory Standard 29 CFR 19190.1450. Morehead State University laboratories may use this document as a starting point for creating their work area specific Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP). Morehead State Chemical Hygiene Plan MSU Laboratory Awareness Certification For CHP of (Professor, Building, Room)________________________ The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that laboratory employees be made aware of the Chemical Hygiene Plan at their place of employment (29 CFR 1910.1450). The Morehead State University Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Materials Safety Manual serves as the written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for laboratories using chemicals at Morehead State University. The CHP is a regular, continuing effort, not a standby or short term activity. Departments, divisions, sections, or other work units engaged in laboratory work whose hazards are not sufficiently covered in this written manual must customize it by adding their own sections as appropriate (e.g. standard operating procedures, emergency procedures, identifying activities requiring prior approval). After reading the "Morehead State Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Material Safety Manual," complete and return a copy of this form to your supervisor or to your department’s Safety Committee Chair. By signing below you acknowledge that you are aware of the Chemical Hygiene Plan and the policies and procedures applicable to the OSHA standard (29 CFR 1910.1450). Your supervisor will provide additional information and training as appropriate. Please type or print legibly.

These and all safety training records should be organized in a way that allows original records to be retrieved quickly and efficiently on request by an OSHA inspector. MSU Chemical Hygiene Plan Page 2 Morehead State University Safety Policy Statement It is the policy of Morehead State University to take every reasonable precaution to provide a work environment that is free from recognized hazards for its employees in accordance with the General Duty clause of the OSHA Act (Public Law 91-596, Section 5(a)(l)). Morehead State University is also required by the OSHA Laboratory Standard to ensure that the necessary work practices, procedures and policies are implemented to protect laboratory employees from all potentially hazardous chemicals in use in their work area. Office of Environmental Health & Safety Mission Statement The Office of Environmental Health and Safety is a service unit of the University that is committed to maintaining a healthful, safe and secure environment for all members of the campus community. The Office of EHS oversees the development and University-wide implementation of integrated risk management, loss prevention, safety and regulatory compliance programs. Assessments of the potential for loss to the University and the appropriate financial management of such risks. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety ensures compliance with all Federal, State and local regulations and standards involving environmental management, chemical control, industrial hygiene, general campus safety and fire safety as well as overseeing the procurement and management of university property, casualty, and liability insurance and claims against the University and participates in the review of litigation.

The final standard applies to all laboratories that
