Site Specific Procedures
Standard operating procedures (SOP) are intended to provide you with general guidance on how to safely work with a specific class of chemical or hazard. This SOP is generic in nature. It addresses the use and handling of substances by hazard class only. In some instances multiple SOPs may be applicable for a specific chemical (i.e. both the SOPs for flammable liquids and carcinogens would apply to benzene). If you have any questions concerning the applicability of any items listed in this procedure contact the Laboratory Safety Unit of EH&S at x5-3241 or the Principal Investigator of your laboratory. Specific written procedures are the responsibility of the principal investigator.
If compliance with all the requirements of this standard operating procedure is not possible, the principal investigator must develop a written procedure that will be used in its place. This alternate procedure must provide the same level of protection as the SOP it replaces. The Laboratory Safety Unit is available to provide guidance during the development of alternate procedures.
