7.0 WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL LIST 

Department heads are required to ensure that a list of hazardous chemicals used in their departments is compiled and maintained. The list may be compiled for the department as a whole or for local work areas. The University's Safety Policy requires laboratories (research and teaching) to compile a list of hazardous chemicals used in laboratories. The list of hazardous chemicals shall reference the hazardous chemical in the same manner as on the corresponding MSDS. The list shall be updated as necessary and be maintained in the designated work area's Safety Desk Book. Faculty, staff, and students shall know the location and availability of the hazardous chemical list for their work areas.
