The Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for the Radniecki Lab is embodied in the general OSU CHP combined with the following standard operating procedures and safety instructions found on SafetyWeb and OSU's EH&S website.  All members of the Radniecki Lab must be familiar with these materials and will receive hands-on training in any relevant procedures.

Coworkers are expected to adhere to the laboratory attire policy of the Department of Chemistry (clothing covers from shoulders to ankles, closed toed shoes, long pants) and must wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times in the laboratory.  At a minimum, PPE comprises of a laboratory coat, nitrile/latex gloves and approved safety glasses or safety goggles. 

All lab users must review the safety information below and the relevant safety data sheets (SDS) and standard operating procedures (SOP) before beginning work and have signed an Acknowledgement of Safety T raining form within the past 12 months.
