General Use Chemical Hygiene Plan, 2018, Department Of Chemistry

General University of Maine Publications

The University of Maine’s (UM) Department of Chemistry, in an effort to ensure that all of its employees and students working in laboratories have a reasonable expectation of safety, has put forward this Chemical Hygiene Plan. It is a guide to operating safely with chemicals and understanding your laboratory environment as well as instructions of what is to be done in an emergency. Each person working in a laboratory will be expected to follow the guidelines explained here but borrowed from The University of Maine System, state and federal governments.
