Lab Standard Operating Procedure Templates

Summary

Follow lab standard operating procedures (SOP) when working with chemicals or other lab processes that involve hazardous materials.

Labs and research.

If you work with chemicals in lab settings:

Use lab SOP templates for specific chemicals to develop lab-specific policies and procedures.
Review additional EHS lab chemical safety guidelines.

Contact lab_safety@harvard.edu or your Lab Safety Advisor (LSA) for more information about lab SOPs.

If you do not have a HarvardKey, you can contact lab_safety@harvard.edu to request copies of lab SOP templates.
