HAZARD ASSESSMENT/ SIGNAGE PROGRAM : “HASP”
HASP is a software application designed to assist laboratory supervisors in identifying the hazards present in their laboratories and communicating this information to anyone who enters their labs. The supervisor completes an electronic profile of the laboratory, and the information is incorporated into a door sign. The sign lists the name of the principal investigator and the names of others who have responsibility for the room, along with corresponding contact numbers. Supervisors select the most important hazards in their lab area from a list of sixteen hazard types, and then rate the risk level as “low”, “moderate”, or “high” for each hazard. The sign indicates any limitations on access, and also provides warning messages and emergency response information. A document describing the Hazard Types and Risk Levels is available.
