Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security: A Guide to Developing Standard Operating Procedures.

摘要

For the purposes of chemical safety and management, an SOP is a detailed, written set of procedures that explains how to utilize and manage hazardous chemicals, processes, and procedures to prevent or minimize health and safety concerns. The development and use of SOPs are integral parts of a successful safety program. Poorly written SOPs are of limited value. Therefore, SOPs should be clear, concise, and detailed but not overly complicated. SOPs should provide sufficient detail and be specific to the institution or facility so that someone with limited experience or knowledge of the procedure can successfully and safely follow the procedure.
