Responsibilities and Expectations

The Laboratory Safety Guide is a required element of the Laboratory Safety Plan that introduces basic safety information and best practices for laboratory procedures. It is a reference document for the Division of Research Safety's laboratory programs, campus policies, and common laboratory hazards, including hyperlinks to more detailed information. DRS maintains this guide and updates it annually or as necessary. All researchers must understand the contents of this guide before working in Illinois research laboratories. The responsibilities for providing a safe work environment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are outlined in the Campus Administrative Manual. All groups must understand their responsibilities for providing a healthy and safe environment for all faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Each laboratory group is required to develop a Laboratory Safety Plan (LSP) to address the laboratory's specific hazards and exposure control measures. Development and implementation of a LSP will fulfill each laboratory's requirement for a Chemical Hygiene Plan as specified in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation 29 CFR 1910.1560 (OSHA Lab Standard). The requirements for hazard identification and safety training for other laboratory hazards such as biological hazards (BMBL), recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids (NIH Guidelines), radioactive materials (IEMA Title 32-Part 340), and lasers (IEMA-Title 32-Part 315) are also satisfied upon implementing a comprehensive Laboratory Safety Plan. An annual evaluation of the LSP must be completed by the laboratory group to determine necessary revisions or updates. The Principal Investigator (PI) or Laboratory Supervisor is responsible for implementing the Laboratory Safety Plan and ensuring safety procedures are followed within their laboratories. A Safety Contact may be chosen to assist with the implementation of this plan by developing Standard Operating Procedures, training personnel, and overseeing day-today operations while promoting safety in the laboratory. The Safety Contact should be aware of all laboratory activities, be a point of contact with DRS, and play an active role in the annual General Laboratory Safety Audits. Training The PI or lab supervisor must ensure that all laboratory personnel receives adequate training for the hazards they will be working with to perform the procedures safely. In addition everyone working in a lab must at least have hazard awareness of all materials present even if they are not working with them. Online trainings offered by DRS provide basic information and must be supplemented by lab specific training through the PI or experienced lab members. See the Safety Training …
