THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY DIVISION Chemical HYGIENE PLAN A Chemical hygiene plan is a written program developed to establish procedures, protective equipment and work practices that promote a safe work environment for employees handling hazardous Chemicals in the workplace. At the University of Georgia, laboratory personnel are responsible for the preparation of their own Chemical Hygiene Plan. A single plan may cover one or more rooms/laboratories associated with a work group and should consider all safety and health issues when the work involves the use of hazardous Chemicals. The Chemical Hygiene Plan provided is a template that can be used by any University of Georgia laboratory. Filling in the specific information for your laboratory will complete this Plan. Each laboratory must designate a Chemical Hygiene Officer to implement the Plan. The Plan must be reviewed with everyone working in the laboratory and made readily available to those employees. This Plan must be reviewed at least annually by the Chemical Hygiene Officer and Principal Investigator, Laboratory Manger, Director or Supervisor. Each Principal Investigator, Laboratory Manager, Director, or Supervisor should have a copy of the UGA Chemical & Laboratory Safety Manual, which is referenced in this Plan (www.esd.uga.edu).
