B. Specialty Training

1. Laboratory professors or laboratory instructors will ensure training is provided to laboratory personnel for procedures/experiments involving the following chemicals:
Personnel potentially exposed to OSHA Regulated Substance listed in Appendix D.
Explosives/highly reactive experiments. Principal Investigators/laboratory instructors need additional training to work with highly reactive/explosive chemicals. Contact the CHO for further information.
Human blood/secretions. Laboratory professors/ laboratory instructors/students who have potential contacts with human blood are required to have Blood Borne Pathogen training. The Chemical Hygiene Officer will arrange for such training. OSHA CFR 1910.1030 is the regulation that governs this activity.
Recombinant DNA. Biosafety levels must be established according to the Center for Disease Control – National Institute for Health (CDC – NIH) guidelines, which address training, handling and disposal.
Pathogenic Microorganism. Laboratory professors/instructors should review the publication Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories before beginning work with pathogenic microorganisms and follow guidelines outlined in Appendix L.
Handlers of hazardous waste are exempt from Hazardous Materials Training if they are a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator. See Appendix F, Disposal of Waste Chemicals. Presently EMU is exempt. See Appendix F for more information.
DEA Controlled Substances (narcotics). Persons using Controlled Regulated Substances i.e., narcotics defined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), need to be familiar with the requirements of the DEA Controlled Substances Act. A license to use most of the substances is required.
The Chemical Hygiene Officer will assist with the training and maintenance of the training documentation.
