PI Registration Request

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces the workplace safety and health regulations in the United States. The OSHA regulation entitled “Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories” (29 CFR 1910.1450, commonly referred to as the “Laboratory Standard”) requires the development of a “Chemical Hygiene Plan” which describes states how each Principal Investigator at the university will implement the requirements of the Laboratory Standard to provide a safe and healthy work environment for staff and students employees.

University research and teaching laboratories where “Hazardous Materials, Equipment, or Processes” are used or stored require a Safety Plan. The term “Hazardous Materials . . .” encompasses all physical, biological, chemical, radiological, and hazardous processes such as those employing high voltage, high pressure and other hazards. Office personnel using chemicals such as white-out, glue and office supplies are exempt from filing Safety Plans as are personnel who may use hazardous materials in a non-research setting (housekeeping, facilities maintenance, grounds keeping, etc.).

Please review the information on required PI training and overall PI responsibilities outlined on the Principal Investigator Resources webpage. To request a new Safety Plan, the following information must be completed by a PI or research manager. This individual must certify that they have been authorized by their department management to direct work in the space and to store and use hazardous materials and equipment. After submitting this online form, EH&S will review the information, assign a new Safety Plan, and instruct you on how to log on and complete it with your unique information.
