Ohio Administrative Code|Rule 3745-52-214 | Laboratory management plan.

                                                
An eligible academic entity shall develop and
		retain a written "Laboratory Management Plan" (LMP), or revise an
		existing written plan. The LMP is a site-specific document that describes how
		the eligible academic entity shall manage unwanted materials in compliance with
		rules 3745-52-200 to 3745-52-216 of the Administrative Code. An eligible
		academic entity may write one LMP for all the laboratories owned by the
		eligible academic entity that have opted to use rules 3745-52-200 to
		3745-52-216 of the Administrative Code, even if the laboratories are located at
		sites with different U.S. EPA identification numbers. The LMP shall contain two
		parts with a total of nine elements identified in paragraphs (A) and (B) of
		this rule. "Part I" of the LMP shall describe procedures for each of
		the elements listed in paragraph (A) of this rule. An eligible academic entity
		shall implement and comply with the specific provisions developed to address
		the elements in "Part I" of the LMP. "Part II" of the LMP
		shall describe best management practices for each of the elements listed in
		paragraph (B) of this rule. The specific actions taken by an eligible academic
		entity to implement each element in "Part II" of the LMP may vary
		from the procedures described in the LMP without constituting a violation of
		rules 3745-52-200 to 3745-52-216 of the Administrative Code. "Part
		II" of the LMP may include additional elements and best management
		practices.
(A) The eligible academic entity shall
		  implement and comply with the following specific provisions of "Part
		  I" of the LMP. "Part I" of the LMP shall be done by the eligible
		  academic entity:

			 for container labeling in accordance with paragraph (A) of rule 3745-52-206 of
			 the Administrative Code, as follows:
(a) Identifying whether the eligible academic entity shall use
				the term "unwanted material" on the containers in the laboratory. If
				not, identify an equally effective term that shall be used in lieu of
				"unwanted material" and consistently by the eligible academic entity.
				The equally effective term, if used, has the same meaning and is subject to the
				same requirements as "unwanted material."
(b) Identifying the manner in which information that is
				"associated with the container" shall be imparted.
(2) Identify whether the
			 eligible academic entity shall comply with paragraph (A)(1) or (A)(2) of rule

(B) "Part II" of the LMP shall
		  be done by an eligible academic entity:
(1) Describe the intended

			 commensurate with the duties of the laboratory workers and students [see the

			 Code].
(3) Describe the intended
			 best practices for providing training to ensure safe on-site transfers of
			 unwanted material and hazardous waste by trained professionals [see the
			 required standards in paragraph (D)(1) of rule 3745-52-207 of the
			 Administrative Code].
(4) Describe the intended
			 best practices for removing unwanted material from the laboratory,
			 including:
(a) For regularly scheduled removals. Develop a regular schedule
				for identifying and removing unwanted materials from the laboratories [see the
				required standards in paragraphs (A)(1) and (A)(2) of rule 3745-52-208 of the
				Administrative Code].
(b) For removals when maximum volumes are exceeded:
(i) Describe the intended
				  best practices for removing unwanted materials from the laboratory within ten
				  calendar days after maximum volumes of unwanted materials have been exceeded
				  [see the required standards in paragraph (D) of rule 3745-52-208 of the
				  Administrative Code].
(ii) Describe the
				  intended best practices for communicating that maximum volumes of unwanted
				  materials have been exceeded.
(5) Describe the intended
			 best practices for making hazardous waste determinations, including specifying
			 the duties of the individuals involved in the process (see the required
			 standards in paragraphs (A) to (D) of rule 3745-52-11 and rules 3745-52-209 to
			 3745-52-212 of the Administrative Code).
(6) Describe the intended
			 best practices for laboratory clean-outs, if the eligible academic entity plans
			 to use the incentives for laboratory clean-outs provided in rule 3745-52-213 of
			 the Administrative Code, including both:
(a) Procedures for conducting laboratory clean-outs [see the
				required standards in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(3) of rule 3745-52-213 of the
				Administrative Code].
(b) Procedures for documenting laboratory clean-outs [see the
				required standards in paragraph (A)(4) of rule 3745-52-213 of the

(7) Describe the intended
			 best practices for emergency prevention, including all of the
			 following:
(a) Procedures for emergency prevention, notification, and
				response, appropriate to the hazards in the laboratory.
(b) A list of chemicals that the eligible academic entity has, or
				is likely to have, that become more dangerous when the expiration date of those
				chemicals is exceeded or as those chemicals degrade.
(c) Procedures to safely dispose of chemicals that become more
				dangerous when the expiration date of those chemicals is exceeded or as those
				chemicals degrade.
(d) Procedures for the timely characterization of unknown
				chemicals.
(C) An eligible academic entity shall
		  make the LMP available to laboratory workers, students, or any others at the
		  eligible academic entity who request it.
(D) An eligible academic entity shall
		  review and revise the LMP as needed.
