The REHS Laboratory Toolkit brings together many of the forms and programs that researchers require on a regular basis.

Right-to-Know / Chemical Hygiene / RCRA Online Refresher Training

This on-line training program will satisfy the current Right-To-Know Annual Refresher requirement only if the associated exam is completed and passed. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact REHS at 445-2550.

Online Principle Investigator Laboratory Self-Inspection

Principal Investigators are required to perform self audits of their labs twice per year. Once prior to us coming to do the annual REHS audit and then six months later (they will receive an email reminder from REHS asking them to perform their second audit).

Violations identified by the self-inspection must be corrected. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact REHS at 445-2550.

2009 Chemical Hygiene Guide [pdf]

A written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) is required for each lab. REHS developed a Chemical Hygiene Guide for the use of hazardous materials at Rutgers. For the CHP to be complete, the PI is required to add the protocols and procedures with safety information specific to their lab, as well as MSDS for the chemicals used in the lab.
