LABORATORY SAFETY PLAN

A Laboratory Safety Plan (LSP) is a written plan that sets forth procedures, equipment, personal protective equipment and work practices capable of protecting employees from health hazards presented by the chemicals used in the laboratory.

The LSP is designed to provide the Principal Investigator the ability to develop such a written plan specific to his or her laboratory. Principal investigators must complete an LSP for each applicable laboratory and review it annually or whenever significant laboratory changes occur:
