3 Lab Policies and Procedures
Find the Lab Policies and Procedures Module on canvas commons. This is where you’ll find the explanation of the PPE requirements and the entire the SOP and SDS documents.
- A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of step-by-step instructions to help workers carry out routine operations. The following SOPs have been created to achieve safety, efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and mistakes.
- A safety data sheet, or SDS, is a standardized document that contains occupational safety and health data. Below are example SDS for some of the common chemicals you will use while working on projects in the P&O lab. This OSHA3514-Hazard Communication Standard.pdf explains how to read and interpret SDS sheets. Please refer to the yellow SDS binder located in the P&O Lab (BB846) for SDS sheets for all chemicals currently located in the lab.
