The laboratory safety manual (commonly called the lab safety binder) is required to be kept in every research laboratory.  All personnel should be familiar with its contents and location in the lab space.

It should contain the following:

Chemical Hygiene Plan
*requires information to be completed and updated on at least an annual basis

• CHP ID page

• Online training class transcript(s)
