See REM webpage for the location evaluation hazard assessment template. () Job Title Evaluation Hazard Assessment Job title evaluation hazard assessments should be conducted for specific positions. These types of hazard assessments should be written in a comprehensive manner that includes the majority of hazards that a specific job position (e.g., Animal Care Technician) routinely encounters during the normal course of work. This type of hazard assessment is commonly used for positions where the hazards encountered do not frequently change. If the employee encounters a hazard that is not covered by the job title evaluation hazard assessment, then it will be necessary to perform another type of hazard assessment such as the task evaluation hazard assessment that does address the specific hazards of that task. The following describes the steps that should be taken to perform a task evaluation hazard assessment: Identify hazards that the position title may encounter while performing normal duties. List each task where hazard is present. Determine PPE requirements for each task. List other control measures required. See the REM webpage for the job title evaluation hazard assessment template. () Minimum PPE Requirements for Laboratories This section details the minimum PPE requirements for all laboratories using hazardous chemicals. These requirements do not apply to labs that involve solely mechanical, computer, laser or other non-ionizing radiation, or electrical operations. The requirements listed do not cover all operations in all laboratories. Some operations and procedures may warrant further PPE, as indicated by the SDS, the SOP for the chemical(s) being used, facility policies, or regulatory requirements. Figure 6.1 illustrates the minimum PPE required when using hazardous chemicals in a laboratory. Figure 6.1 – Appropriate PPE for the Laboratory
