Laboratory Chemical Hygiene PlanAndy Kenst, EH&S
![Page 16: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
OSU Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP)
OSHA’s definition: The CHP is a written program stating the policies, procedures and
responsibilities that protect workers from health hazards associated with hazardous chemicals used in a particular workplace.
Applies to all OSU labs and lab employees Lab Supervisors/Principal Investigators (LSs/PIs) Students Post-docs Lab techs and other laboratory staff
OSU CHP Addresses/Describes: Local, state and federal laws and regulations University policies and protocols OSU EH&S services and reference material Recommended best practices and other guidance
![Page 17: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lab-Specific CHP (LCHP)OSU CHP is not sufficiently detailed to address all labs at OSU
Each PI must create an LCHP LCHP Template online Add lab-specific SOPs as
Appendix IV Ensure workers have read
and understood the LCHP with documentation
Make LCHP and SOPs available for employee reference
Periodically review and update the LCHP

Lab-Specific Chemical Hygiene Plan
Why maintain an LCHP? Improve lab safety through documented training/education
Resource for lab workers It’s the law. OSHA requires it and may ask to see it when they visit.
Regulatory agencies like the EPA want to see it used in labs.
May help reduce liability in the event of an accident

Waste Minimization & Chemical ReUseKent Lanning, EH&S
![Page 21: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Waste Minimization/Recycling
![Page 22: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Legal Requirements
Large Quantity Generators (greater than 1000kg/month) of hazardous waste, including OSU, are required by the EPA under RCRA to have a waste minimization program in place.
This program can include processes to reduce waste at the source throughEngineering controlsUse of non-hazardous alternatives to hazardous chemicals
Reuse/repurposing of chemicals instead of disposal.
![Page 23: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Waste
OSU generated in excess of 128,000 pounds of hazardous waste last year, including significant volumes of chemicals that could potentially have been reused or repurposed on campus.
Many chemicals and cylinders cost more to dispose of as waste then they did to purchase.
Chemicals that are reused instead of disposed of save the university on both the purchase cost of new chemicals and the disposal cost of chemicals that would otherwise have become hazardous waste.
![Page 24: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reuse Program
Chemicals suitable for reuse can be ‘donated’ to the program by filling out a Waste Pickup Request and making a note in the comments that the materials may be suitable for reuse.
EHS personnel will evaluate the chemical upon pickup and divert suitable chemicals into the reuse program.
Ideal chemicals for reuse are unopened, unexpired chemicals although opened but usable chemicals will also be considered.
![Page 25: Department/Unit Safety Coordinator’s Seminar Part 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812aee550346895d8ed212/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Requesting Chemicals
Persons needing chemicals for OSU related operations can search the Chemical Reuse Inventory, contained within the Chemical Inventory System, and request chemicals be held for them using the Request Chemicals link.
Chemicals will be held until the requestor can come inspect the requested chemicals for suitability and transport them to their point of use.
The Chemical Reuse Inventory will be updated on a regular basis by EHS.
