Chemical Hygiene Plan and Biological Safety Guide

The current regulatory requirements provide that each research facility that handles hazardous chemicals and/or biologicals must draft and adopt, in a written form, comprehensive Chemical Hygiene Manual and Biological Safety Guide or equivalent documents. Usually, the Chemical Hygiene Manual and/or the Biological Safety Guide are developed in cooperation with the client's Laboratory Safety Committee, and take into account the unique needs and circumstances of each client while staying within the generally uniform boundaries of the regulatory requirements.

PHP will develop and implement a comprehensive Chemical Hygiene Plan and Biological Safety Guide which will serve as a general guide for handling hazardous chemicals in the laboratory and establish basic principles for laboratory procedures, equipment and work practices. The manuals will also describe the safeguards for protecting employees from chemical and biological hazards in a laboratory environment. It will serve to minimize potential occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals, infectious microorganisms, or other potentially infectious materials.
