Abstract:
January 31, 1991 was the deadline for laboratories to have developed and implemented their chemical hygiene plans (CHPs). OSHA may fine laboratories that do no comply--up to $2,500 per day. Managers have a responsibility to their employees to ensure a safe working environment, and the CHP is a useful tool for reducing risks and for informing employees about possible health hazards. Preparing a CHP does not have to be an arduous task--especially if you work from a model plan. This month's As We See It should help you refine (or develop) your CHP.
