The Cal-OSHA Laboratory Safety Standard is a performance-oriented standard which sets forth written requirements for procedures, equipment, personal protective equipment, and other control measures intended to protect the employees from health hazards associated with hazardous chemicals used in the laboratory. To assure compliance with this standard, officially known as “Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories” (8 CCR 5191), SFSU has developed and implemented the Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP).
