The College's Chemical Safety Program encompasses the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), the Laboratory Standard (29 CFR
1910.1450) and a variety of other OSHA and EPA requirements related to chemical
safety and hazardous waste. The primary elements of our Chemical Safety Program
include written policies and procedures, training, medical consultation,
emergency response, periodic compliance inspections and a mandatory
registration of highly hazardous chemicals.
The Dartmouth College Chemical Safety Committee provides oversight and review of the Chemical Safety Program.
