Chapter 1: Introduction Purpose UCLA is committed to providing a healthy and safe working environment for the campus community, free from recognized hazards in accordance with UCLA Policy 811 (http://www.adminpolicies.ucla.edu/pdf/811.pdf). The Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) establishes a formal written program for protecting laboratory personnel against adverse health and safety hazards associated with exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals and must be made available to all employees working with hazardous chemicals. The CHP describes the proper use and handling practices and procedures to be followed by faculty, staff, students, visiting scholars, and all other personnel working with potentially hazardous chemicals in laboratory settings. This plan is based on best practices identified in, among others sources, “Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories,” published by the National Research Council, and the American Chemical Society‟s “Safety in Academic Chemistry Laboratories” (www.acs.org), a copy of which has been distributed along with this manual. Scope The CHP applies to all laboratories that use, store or handle potentially hazardous chemicals and all personnel who work in these facilities. It does not apply to research involving exclusively radiological or biological materials, as these safety procedures and regulatory requirements are outlined in the Radiation Safety Manual (www.ehs.ucla.edu/radsafetymanual.pdf) and Biosafety Manual (www.ehs.ucla.edu/biosafetymanual.pdf), respectively. Research involving more than one type of hazard must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements and follow guidance outlined in the relevant safety manuals. The information presented in the CHP represents best practices and provides a broad overview of the information necessary for the safe operation of laboratories that utilize potentially hazardous chemicals. It is not intended to be all inclusive. Departments, divisions or other work units engaged in work with potentially hazardous chemicals that have unusual characteristics, or are otherwise not sufficiently covered in the written CHP, must customize the document by adding additional sections addressing the hazards and how to mitigate their risks, as appropriate. Such customizations must receive prior approval from the PI/Laboratory Supervisor and/or the UCLA Office of Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S). See Appendix E: Policy 907 – Safe Handling of Particularly Hazardous Substances for additional information on substances that may trigger these additions. For information on specific chemical safety topics not covered in the CHP, please contact the EH&S Hotline at 310-825-9797 or laboratorysafety@ehs.ucla.edu. Chemical Hygiene Plan 1-1 January 2013
Regulatory Requirements Implementation of the necessary work practices, procedures, and policies outlined in this CHP is required by the following: Title 8, California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 5191, “Occupational Exposures to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories” (http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5191.html) Title 8, CCR, Section 5209, “Carcinogens” (http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5209.html) Title 8, CCR, Section 5154.1, “Ventilation Requirements for Laboratory-Type Hood Operations” (http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5154_1.html) Other applicable regulations include those promulgated by the U.S. Department of Labor including 29 CFR 1910.1450 "Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories" (the "Laboratory Standard"). These regulations require that the CHP be readily available wherever potentially hazardous chemicals are used, handled or stored. EH&S will review and evaluate the effectiveness of this Plan at least annually and update it as necessary. Rights and Responsibilities Employees and other personnel who work in laboratories have the right to be informed about the potential health hazards of the chemicals in their work areas and to be properly trained to work safely with these substances. This includes custodial staff and other personnel who work to clean and maintain laboratories. Employees have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA if they feel they are being exposed to unsafe or unhealthy work conditions and cannot be discharged, suspended, or otherwise disciplined by their employer for filing a complaint or exercising these rights. All personnel working with potentially hazardous chemicals are encouraged to report (anonymously, if preferred) any concerns about unsafe work conditions to the EH&S Hotline at 310-825-9797. Responsibility for the health and safety of the campus community extends to the highest administrative levels of UCLA. The Chancellor and Vice Chancellors are responsible for the implementation of UCLA‟s Environmental Health and Safety Policy (http://www.adminpolicies.ucla.edu/pdf/811.pdf) at all facilities and properties under campus control. Deans and Department Heads are responsible for establishing and maintaining programs in their areas and for providing a safe and healthy work environment. While the Chancellor, Vice Chancellors, Deans and Department Heads are responsible for the broad implementation and enforcement of UCLA‟s Environmental Health and Safety Policy, the day to day responsibility for the management of laboratory safety and adherence to safe laboratory practices rests with the PI/Laboratory Supervisor within individual laboratory units and associated departments.
