which can be found on the REM webpage, is not all inclusive and any abbreviations not listed must be added by laboratory personnel. () There are several other lab postings that may also be required that are not discussed in the CHP, particularly if radioisotopes and/or biological agents are used in the lab. This information should be obtained by reviewing the Radiation Safety Manual and/or Biological Safety Manual. Additional information regarding lab postings and labels can be found on the REM webpage. () Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used to supplement engineering controls. However, PPE should never be used as a substitute for engineering controls when engineering controls are required. PPE must be worn at all time in the laboratory when handling hazardous chemicals. Proper PPE selection can be determined in the following ways: Ask the Laboratory Supervisor about proper PPE selection. Review the SOP and associated hazard assessment for the task to be performed. Review Section 8, Controls/Personal Protection” of the SDS for the “Exposure chemical(s) used. This will provide basic information on the PPE recommended for use with the particular chemical. The SDS addresses "worst case" conditions; therefore, all the equipment described may not always be necessary for a specific job. In addition, the SDS may not provide sufficient information concerning a specific respirator or type of glove appropriate for the chemical. Additional PPE requirements are detailed in the Laboratory PPE Policy in Chapter 6 and Chapter 9 of the CHP.
