I. Introduction A. University of Wyoming laboratories are sites of essential
academic learning and valuable scientific and engineering research. Laboratories
also present a variety of health and safety hazards. This document has been
designed to provide an efficient method of analyzing possible laboratory based
hazards and defining and documenting appropriate control methods through the
development of standard operating procedures. For hazard assessment in non
laboratory settings consult the UW General Workplace Hazard Assessment and
Controls plan.

II. Purpose A. The purpose of this plan is to identify hazards and
corresponding control methods in university laboratory settings in order to
minimize the risk injury, illness or accidents and to facilitate compliance with
health and Safety regulations and grant requirements，After the university laboratory grants, try to purchase suitable laboratory accessories.. B. Compliance with various
regulations and research grant requirements require documented standard
operating procedures. Examples of agencies and groups requiring standard
operating procedures are listed below: 1. University of Wyoming Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee (IACAC) 2. Department of Defense (DOD) grant 3.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) 4. Department of
