Attached is a revised version of the University of Kentucky Model Chemical Hygiene Plan. The revision is necessary for compliance with the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Laboratory Standard that requires an annual review. Please remove last year’s version but keep all lab specific information that still applies and record the date your plan was reviewed.

Instructions for Preparing Your Chemical Hygiene Plan

• Please read the entire plan. This information is provided to help you be in compliance with Federal and State laws regarding work in laboratories. The OSHA Lab Standard has not changed but some information has been updated.

• Add lab specific information. This is an outline plan that has to be made lab specific for the plan to meet OSHA laws. The following items should be completed or inserted into your plan:
  • Plan identification form (iii)
  • Standard operating procedures (Chapter 3)
  • PPE assessment (can be included in SOPs, Chapter 3)
  • Training records (Appendix III)
    • Chemical Hygiene Plan/Lab Safety general awareness training
    • Lab specific training
  • Chemical Inventory (software is available online, Appendix IV)
  • Laboratory signage (can fill out online or Appendix VIII)

• Resources: The Model Chemical Hygiene Plan is available on the Internet or on diskette for your convenience.
