The purpose of this program is to protect workers from the hazards associated with handling and using hazardous materials in laboratories.
It covers chemical hygiene requirements for work with chemicals in SLAC research laboratories. (General requirements for chemical safety are covered separately in Chapter 53, "Chemical Safety".)
