Chemical Use Planning Form
The Chemical Use Planning Form is designed to help laboratory
supervisors and safety officers outline
the precautions necessary for the use of
specific chemicals or groups of chemicals
with similar hazards. These forms are also
used to register the use of specific chemicals
with Environmental Safety for Institutional
Research Committee purposes. The form is
available in three formats:
In concert with Chemical Use Planning Form itself, the UVM Hazardous
Chemicals of Concern list (here in PDF
format) groups the most common laboratory chemicals
into hazard and compatibility groups and provides
information about special attention specific chemicals
need for safe management.

Bloodborne Pathogen Program Forms:
This form is for supervisors to use to designate a
specific laboratory worker as "at risk" for exposure to human

provides the vaccination series and maintain
a copy in the laboratory safety notebook.
This form is completed by the employee to indicate
whether they consent to having the vaccine.
