Laboratory Standard Operating Procedure Templates

Additional SOP templates are available from other sites, such as the UCLA's: https://ehs.ucla.edu/documents/Laboratory
But, to use other institution's templates, UCSB-specific language would need to be substituted for other's site-specific language.

Chemical Hazard Class Based

(Note that chemicals can have more than one associated hazard)

Common Chemical Hazard Classes


Biological Toxins	Irritants and Sensitizers
Compressed Gases	Strong Oxidizing Agents
Corrosives	Peroxide-Forming Chemicals
Cryogens	Particularly Hazardous Substances: Carcinogens, Reproductive Toxins and Acute Toxins
Flammables

Less Common Chemical Hazard Classes


Pyrophoric, Water Reactive and Self-Heating Materials	Engineered Nanomaterials
Potentially Explosive Chemicals	Highly Toxic and Pyrophoric Gases
Metal Carbonyls

Specific Chemical Based


Acrylamide	Formaldehyde, Formalin, and Paraformaldehyde
Acrylonitrile	Hydrazine
Aqua Regia	Hydrofluoric Acid
Sodium Azide and Organic Azides	Dichloromethane
Benzene	Nitric Acid
Hydrogen Cyanide and Cyanide Salts	Perchloric Acid
Diazomethane	Phosgene
Ethidium Bromide	Piranha Solution aka Piranha Etch
Ethylene Oxide	(Trimethylsilyl) diazomethane

Laboratory Process Based


Sharps: Waste Management and Labeling	Vacuum Systems
High Pressure Reaction Vessels	Walk-In Temperature Controlled Rooms
Quenching Solvent-Drying Still Bottoms	Incident Reporting and Medical Assistance
Laboratory Decomissioning	Large Equipment Decontamination
