Chemical Hygiene Plan

 Employers who potentially expose workers to hazardous chemicals in a laboratory are required to have a written Chemical Hygiene Plan to protect employees who work with hazardous chemicals. WSS can conduct a site assessment to determine the specifics of your specific laboratory and create a new written program or revise a current program to address updating requirements and changes issued by OSHA/ State OSHA plans. WSS can also assist with a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of your Chemical Hygiene Plan at least annually or as required.

OSHA requires several different safety, health and environmental written programs to be developed and maintained.  These written programs must be updated when there are changes to policies, procedures, equipment or site issues affecting an employee’s job.  Additional training is required when there are changes to policies, procedures, types of equipment or site issues affecting an employee’s job.  General purpose programs and site-specific programs are available in CD or hard copy format.  Workplace Safety Specialists has general programs available for immediate delivery or we can  customize a program to your site-specific company requirements.  Call for more details, program options and cost.
