The purpose of the Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) is to establish a written program that supports the procedures, equipment, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and work practices for the protection of laboratory personnel. Additional goals of the plan include minimizing chemical exposures and avoiding underestimation of risk. The CHP is a part of a larger Laboratory Safety Plan (LSP), that covers lab specific hazards including those radiological, biological, electrical and physical in nature. 

A CHP is required for all laboratories working with hazardous chemicals and substances. EH&S has created a template LSP and CSP for convenience. All CHPs are required to be stored in SciShield under the Lab's "Documents" section.
