It is the policy of the University of Utah to provide a safe and healthy workplace in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and regulations of the Department of Labor including 29 CFR §1910.1450 “Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratories”. This requires, amongst other things, the development of a departmental chemical hygiene plan.
