The Office of Environmental Health and safety has a number of health and safety resources that would assist investigators identify the hazards of materials handled and the procedures or controls necessary to minimize the risks associated with them. These resources include:
 |
 |
Yale University Laboratory Chemical Hygiene Plan, a policy and procedure manual (our chemical hygiene plan). |
|
|
CD-ROM databases that allow chemical specific searches of health and safety journal abstracts, toxicological information, and government regulation. |
|
|
A web site (http://www.yale.edu/oehs/) that provides direct links to providers of information on laboratory safety topics, regulations, and organizations (government, professional, consensus) that provide health and safety information. |
