Hi Alex,
Here is a link to the SOP article, which may be useful for developing lab-specific SOPs.
Good luck!

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Chemical SOP practices
Greetings,
One of our faculty members has brought into question the practice of identifying which chemical class SOP is used for which chemical in a lab. We tell our labs that they need to have some way for individuals to know which SOP is meant to
be used for a specific chemical. For example, they can list the name of the chemical on the document or they can list the name of the SOP in their inventory list. The faculty member says that his graduate students are smart enough to just know which SOP to
use based on the chemical’s hazard labels. I see this as a gap where incidents could happen – a person makes their best “guess” about which SOP to use, but it’s not the right one. Is it not a requirement to identify in some way which materials/chemicals an
SOP applies to?
Your input on this is appreciated.
Regards
ALEX HAGEN, CCHO
