The Taylor Science Center at 麻豆国产AV College is a 208,000-square foot facility that houses six academic departments and contains approximately 100 laboratories, 70 support rooms and 11 classrooms.

Many occupational or environmental hazards associated with the use of dangerous chemicals, equipment or animals in a laboratory setting, are subject to regulation by the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) and/or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The “Chemical Hygiene Plan” is a formal, written document required by OSHA, and is intended to give the 麻豆国产AV College community the necessary guidance with regard to the management of occupational or environmental hazards in a laboratory setting.

Chemical Hygiene Plan


Lab Hazard Assessments & Training

The Chemical Hygiene Plan contains forms and appendices that facilitate the documentation of lab hazard assessments, the specification of control methods (including personal protective equipment) and training.


Chemicals Requiring Additional Control Measures

The use of certain chemicals in a laboratory setting requires the implementation of additional administrative or technical control measures. Further, the procurement or possession of a class of chemicals, biologicals or toxins called “Select Agents” are restricted without specific authorization from the federal government. See the Chemical Hygiene Plan for more detail on chemical types that fit in this category. The following links contain a summation of the relevant information sources that should be consulted:
