The OSHA Laboratory Standard and the University’s Laboratory Chemical Safety Plan (Plan) is applicable to all University employees engaged in the use of hazardous laboratory chemicals. Principal Investigators (PI) and laboratory personnel where chemicals are used, stored, or handled are required to implement the applicable components of the Plan in their respective laboratories and follow the practices and procedures provided in the Plan to minimize the risks related to the use of hazardous chemicals.
Syracuse University’s Plan is administered by the University’s Environmental Health and Safety Services (EHSS) department, located in 029 Lyman Hall. EHSS maintains the Plan on their website and updates it periodically to reflect the most current regulation, requirements, and best practices.
Laboratory safety and compliance assistance is available by contacting EHSS at 315.443.4132 or ehss@syr.edu.
