Revisied on:

Print one full copy and professor sign cover page. That copy must be kept easily accessible to all staff, and all staff aware of, and able to quickly locate it. Signature signifies that information included is this groups CHP and that supervisor has verified accuracy of cover page, SOPs, page (i) and Appendices J & K.

All laboratory chemical use areas must maintain a work-area specific Chemical Hygiene Plan which conforms to the requirements of the OSHA Laboraotry Standard 29 CFR 19190.1450. This document was modified from a Chemistry-specific template , which was modified from the REM-provided template made available to the University. The REM model CHP was version 2010A; updates are to be found at www.purdue.edu/rem

PURDUE CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLANAWARENESS CERTIFICATION

For CHP of: Dr. Uyeda, WTHR 419

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 Purdue University Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Materials Safety Manual serves as the written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for laboratories using chemicals at Purdue 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). See Appendix K.

After reading the "Purdue Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Material Safety Manual," complete and return a copy of this form to your supervisor or to your departments 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 provide legible information. Every group member who is involved in laboratory use of chemicals, and the supervisor of any such people, is required to read the group CHP, and to sign sign and submit a copy of this form annually between Jan 1 and Feb 15.

Save your CHP with the name, email address, Job classification date in this Awareness certification form BLANK. Remove this instruction text box

PURDUE UNIVERSITYPOLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of Purdue 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)). Purdue 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.

Purdue University has established the Chemical Management Committee with the responsibility to promote safe and proper chemical management at all Purdue University Campuses and related facilities. The Charter of the University Chemical Management Committee is reprinted in Appendix A of this document.

THE OSHA LABORATORY STANDARD

The basis for this standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) is a determination by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), after careful review of the complete rule-making record, that laboratories typically differ from industrial operations in their use and handling of hazardous chemicals and that a different approach than that found in OSHA's substance specific health standards is warranted to protect workers. The final standard applies to all laboratories that use hazardous chemicals in accordance with the definitions of laboratory use and laboratory scale provided in the standard. Generally, where this standard applies it supersedes the provisions of all other standards in 29 CFR, part 1910, subpart Z, except in specific instances identified by this standard.
