STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPs)  \nLaboratories must provide employees with standard operating procedures (SOPs) to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous substances. The SOPs must address all requirements to perform the laboratory procedures safely. The requirements may either be stated ina cover sheet attached to the laboratory protocol(s) or be integrated into a protocol. The requirements are described in this section of the manual and a synopsis is provided in the checklist in Appendix E, Section E.G , SOP Required Elements Checklist.  \nB. SOP COMPONENTS  \n1. Required Components  \nThe required elements are listed in the checklist in Appendix E, Checklist G. SOP Required Elements Checklist, beginning on page E-22, if you would like to compare an SOP received from another organization to the requirements. SOPs must address the following items:  \na. Process Identification  \nIdentify the chemicals , process or equipment involved. If there is any question as to the chemicals produced in the process , you should consider identifying the stock chemicals , intermediates , final compounds and wastes involved , and such factors as use of catalysts , inert compounds , heat, cold, and varied operating pressures which are involved in the process.  \nb. Controls  \nList required methods to control potential exposures , including:  \n1) Use of engineering controls. Engineering controls provide a permanent means of protection and are preferred over other types of controls.
