Chemical Hygiene

This program is designed to provide you with the information you need to train your employees on the OSHA Chemical Hygiene Standard (CHS) of 1990 (29 CFR 1910.1450).

The CHS requires the written chemical hygiene plan be updated annually and employee training cover the laboratory’s engineering controls, work practice controls and required personal protective equipment.

Additional requirements of the CHS include an annual chemical inventory, material safety data sheet (MSDS) for each hazardous chemical and environmental monitoring.

In addition this program meets the accreditation requirements of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Lab General Checklist question GEN.70450 that requires a Chemical Hygiene Plan be in place and that it include training.

Disc #1 is a CD that includes a leader’s guide that will assist you with the training and examples of the attendance sheet, quiz and evaluation form that you can print out.

Disc #2 is a 35 minute DVD that addresses training issues associated with the Chemical Hygiene Standard including the storage and labeling of chemicals, safety work practices and spill cleanup.

Successful completion of this program will grant 0.1 CEU from the ASCLS PACE Program. For Florida CEU, call 877-894-7004 for additional information.
