Chemical Hygiene Plans (CHPs) include lab-specific information and relevant documents in addition to the UW Laboratory Safety Manual (LSM) provided by EH&S. This information must be reviewed at least annually and is necessary to fulfill WAC 296-828-20005. Read the Creatiing Electronic Chemical Hygiene Plans focus sheet for more information and instructions on creating one for your lab.
The work of research and teaching labs at the University of Washington include a broad spectrum of field operations, such as rocket tests, water sample collection, and wildlife observation, to name just a few. EH&S is committed to supporting a safe and healthful environment for all individuals associated with field operations, including students, faculty, staff, and approved volunteers by providing guidelines and resources to lead safe, successful field courses and research trips.
