The Environmental Health and Safety Officer, or his or her designee, is to serve as the Chemical Hygiene Officer. There are two levels of Chemical Hygiene Committees. Each departmental committee is to appoint a Departmental Chemical Hygiene Officer to oversee its operation and to work directly with the Chemical Hygiene Officer. The Departmental Chemical Hygiene Officers are to work with faculty, staff, students, teaching assistants, research assistants and associates, and laboratory technicians to promote laboratory health and safety. The Departmental Officers are responsible for coordinating the activities of their departmental Chemical Hygiene Committees with the Chemical Hygiene Officer.
Faculty members are to ensure that chemical hygiene policies are fully implemented.
