Three methods can be used to categorize SOPs: by process (e.g. lab protocols), by individual hazard class (e.g. inorganic acids) or by hazardous chemical class (e.g. perchloric acid) . The Standard Operating Procedure is a valuable tool and worth the preparation time. SOPs go beyond the basic \"cookbook\"procedural description of materials and methods and also provide details about the appropriate precautions.  \nHere are some examples of topics that lend themselves well to the SOP format:  \n• Inventory procedure for stock/reference cultures  \n• Laboratory security  \n• Disposal of hazardous materials, including sharps, chemicals and biological materials  \n• Surface decontamination  \n• Spill procedure  \n• Operation and maintenance of equipment such as the centrifuge, Biological Safety Cabinet, and autoclave  \n• Transportation of hazardous materials between facilities  \nIn general, SOPs force a person to think through a procedure step by step and to standardize the materials and methods. The exercise of writing the SOP is valuable and the SOP itselfis a useful training tool and a reminder to staff of the correct procedures. In some situations, SOPs may be required for compliance with regulations (e.g., Good Laboratory Practices, Food and Drug Administration, 40 CFR 160.81) .  \nThe best approach to writing an SOP is to do it, write it, and test it. Be brief and succinct, the shorter, the better. Anyone-student, support staff or principal investigator, can prepare them. The SOPs should be available in the laboratory, not filed away in an office drawer.  \nSOPs should be reviewed annually at a minimum.  \nBelow is a template for a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that you may adapt for your own SOPs.  \nStandard Operating Procedures (SOP) Template TITLE:  ORIGINAL ISSUE: REVISION DATE PAGE   OF   \nPREPARED BY:   \nAPPROVED BY:   \n\n| Section 1:(Check One) |   Process\u003Cbr>  Hazard Class\u003Cbr>  Hazard Chemical Class |\n| --- | --- |\n| Section 2: | Describe Process, Hazard Class, or Hazardous Chemical Class\u003Cbr>Describe the process in detail and list all chemicals in the process and describe/list the names of all hazardous chemicals. |\n| Section 3: | Potential Hazards\u003Cbr>Describe the potential hazards for each step in the process or hazardous chemical.
