Chemical Safety

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Laboratory Standard requires employers to convey chemical health and safety information to their laboratory employees, and ensure that proper work practices/procedures are in place to protect them. Oakland University's Laboratory Chemical Hygiene Plan is a requirement of the OSHA Laboratory Standard and the university's manual to laboratory chemical safety for the university. The Chemical Hygiene Plan is available upon request to all university labs. For assistance in laboratory chemical safety please call (248) 370-4314 or (248) 370-4603.
