INTRODUCTION

National Institute of Justice (NIJ) (see reuse policy).

The goal of any laboratory safety program is to minimize the risk of injury or
illness to employees by ensuring that they have the training, information,
support, and equipment needed to work safely in the laboratory. The guidelines
and standards set forth by the existing regulatory agencies assist laboratories
in ensuring that this goal is met.

There are a number of regulatory agencies and some private organizations that
establish safety guidelines, all of which have differing sets of procedures
and/or standards. Some agencies may incorporate a less stringent program, while
others establish more rigorous standards. In addition, state agencies may create
programs that can be more stringent than the federal counterpart. It is the
laboratory safety officer's responsibility to coordinate with the appropriate
state and local authorities to ensure that the laboratory's safety program is in
compliance with the relevant regulations. Visit the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) website for a list of states that have their own
programs.
