The chemical hazard communication program has been established to promote a safe work atmosphere for all employees that handle, or come in contact with, hazardous materials in the course of their daily work activity. This plan complies with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1200). This program is intended to serve non-research personnel (e.g., clinic, maintenance, housekeeping, print shop, etc.). Research and laboratory personnel are covered under a separate guideline, the laboratory safety standard chemical hygiene program.
