Environment, Health & Safety

EH&S has developed SOPs for a wide variety of chemical hazards. These SOPs are generally grouped by control bands, which specify a common set of precautions that apply to chemicals with a specific hazard, or combination of hazards, associated with them. Chemicals for which no control band is appropriate retain their own chemical-specific SOP. Please contact EH&S at laboratorysafety@ehs.ucla.edu for assistance in determining which control band applies to a particular material.
