From my experience, we ensured all laboratory safety protocols contained all aspects of EHS into the protocols submitted to the IACUC. Thankfully, I was a mandatory member of the IACUC and required myself to insert all protective measures,
from cradle to grave into every protocol and SOP. PPE, e.g., gloves, gowns, etc., were specified to be protective. We provided toxicology research to investigational new drugs - of varying toxicity, including drugs known to cause Parkinson's disease.
We never had an accidental human exposure, from formulating, dosing and neutralization/decontamination. The dose makes the poison.
Regardless of the size of the institution, you are responsible for protecting all personnel. Likewise, I reviewed all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to include all EHS facets into each procedure. Very time consuming, but in my experience
an obligation and responsibility.
