Web form version of the Purdue Chemical Hygiene Plan APPENDIX J, Materials Which Must Be Reported To REM

  

Report These Materials
report lab chemical areas and OSHA substance-specific standard materials

1. Supervisor of space/chemicals:         2. Dept      
3. Name of person completing this form:         4. Dept      
5. email of person completing this form:         6. Date      
7. Is supervisor (in 1. above) responsible for any lab chemicals of any kind?    
yes  
no
8. Is supervisor (in 1. above) responsible for any items in the list below?  
yes  
no
9. Name of supervisor of person completing this form.  May be same or different from #1.  Use Dept Head name if person completing this form is tenured, eligible, or retired faculty.       
 
If both 7. and 8. above are "no," you are finished and may send the form information now.  (Use "Click Once To Send Info" button below.)

If you have answered "yes" to 7. and/or 8. above, list in 10. all bldgs/rooms where any lab chemicals of any kind and/or any reportable materials are used or stored.  List all rooms separately, including inner rooms, e.g., 2110, 2120A, 2120C.

If 6. above is "yes," provide the information requested in the list below by indicating for any rooms listed above which contain any reportable materials at any time: the building, room, and best estimates of the maximum weight (lbs) that will be on hand at any time and maximum weight (lbs) that will be used in any work day.

If multiple supervisors are separately responsible for separate materials in a shared room, report the materials separately (on separate forms).  If multiple supervisors are jointly responsible for materials in a shared room, list both supervisors' names.  Note definition of supervisor.

Definitions:

Alert! Definitions provided by regulatory agencies sometimes run counter to intuition or common usage. Use these definitions.

"Lab Chemicals" -- chemicals used or stored for use in areas in which laboratory use of chemicals takes place.

"Laboratory use of chemicals" is defined by the OSHA Laboratory Standard (lengthy, multi-part definition not reproduced here, see REM website for link).

Max. lbs. on hand = estimate maximum potential for weight in pounds present in room at any time.

Max. lbs. daily use = estimate maximum potential for weight in pounds used in room in a work day.

"Supervisor" -- in general the highest authority lower than department head who would be seen, by a regulatory agency, as ultimately responsible for chemical management and for the health and safety of subordinate laboratory employees.  In research laboratories the faculty advisor is usually regarded as the supervisor.  A supervisor has hiring and firing authority over subordinates, and authority to control certain funds.

Material-specific definitions:

(1) "Inorganic arsenic" means copper aceto-arsenite and all inorganic compounds containing arsenic except arsine, measured as arsenic (As). (1910.1018)

(2) "Asbestos" includes chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite asbestos, anthophyllite asbestos, actinolite asbestos, and any of these minerals that have been chemically treated and/or altered. (1910.1001)

(3) "Bloodborne Pathogens" means pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). (1910.1030) Any occupational use of human blood, human blood products, human tissue, or human cells is regarded as occupational bloodborne pathogen work.

(4) [cadmium] "Scope." This standard applies to all occupational exposures to cadmium and cadmium compounds, in all forms, and in all industries covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act, except the construction-related industries, which are covered under 29 CFR 1926.63. (1928.1027)

(5) "Coke oven" means a retort in which coke is produced by the destructive distillation or carbonization of coal. "Coke oven emissions" means the benzene-soluble fraction of total particulate matter present during the destructive distillation or carbonization of coal for the production of coke. (1910.1029)

(6) "Cotton dust" means dust present in the air during the handling or processing of cotton, which may contain a mixture of many substances including ground up plant matter, fiber, bacteria, fungi, soil, pesticides, non-cotton plant matter and other contaminants which may have accumulated with the cotton during the growing, harvesting and subsequent processing or storage periods. Any dust present during the handling and processing of cotton through the weaving or knitting of fabrics, and dust present in other operations or manufacturing processes using raw or waste cotton fibers or cotton fiber byproducts from textile mills are considered cotton dust within this definition. Lubricating oil mist associated with weaving operations is not considered cotton dust. (1910.1043)

(7) "Salts" it taken to mean metal salts such as Na, K, etc, or salts with polyatomic cations such as ammonium.

(8) "Lead" means metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps. Excluded from this definition are all other organic lead compounds. (1910.1025) (OSHA interpretation dated 01/24/85 defines lead soap as the lead salt of an organic acid or fatty acid.)
