From page 24... ... Hazards may be posed by any chemical of concern, particularly if han dled by inexperienced workers, as well as any reaction products that may be generated either in situ or as intended products or byproducts. The most crucial item in the Moderate Risk SOP is Step 6: "Describe all special requirements for specific items that require a greater level of safety." Laboratory personnel are encouraged to review all avail able resources (see Appendix B) Read the entire page →
