As a follow-up question to Amy’s question about the qualifications of a CHO, can an orh operate using a Chemical Hygiene Committee rather than having a designated Chemical Hygiene Officer? Our campus just has a committee but I told our new Arts and Science Dean that OHSA requires a designated CHO. She asked me to look into the requirements for that position and send her a memo.

Amy and everyone ...
There are no official guidelines.
LSI offers courses that address this issue based on 30 years of experience teaching about how to be a more effective Chemical Hygiene Officer.
There is also the certification program offered by the National Registry of Certified Chemists,
www.nrcc6.org. It is not required.
Call or write to me if you would like more information.
Regards ... Jim
PS. LSI now has
virtual lab inspections, safety program evaluations, document reviews, plus
courses and seminars ... all virtual. And, a complimentary, updated version of our classic Laboratory Safety Guidelines is now available on our website ... https://www.labsafety.org/product/lab-safety-rules

Does anyone know if there are any official guidelines on what "training" a person needs to be a CHO for their institution?
The OSHA lab standard just says CHO's need to be trained, but I'm looking for federal or state guidelines that discuss the specific type of training. Or
are there no specifics on this and it's just up to institutions as to what constitutes appropriate training for someone to be a CHO?
