All

Was hoping to get some input from the groups regarding Lab Std vs Hazcom.    I am sure many of us have faced this question.   I know the basic guidance listed below but wondered if anyone had found or developed more specific examples….etc.   For example, “easily and safely manipulated by one person” and “relatively small quantities” do not necessarily align.   Has anyone found or used any specific volume or weight cut offs?    For example, a “laboratory” that uses 5, 10, or more gallon containers that can be manipulated by one person seems to be pushing the definition of relatively small quantities….. but I have never found any more clear guidance then below.

I appreciate any help, guidance, resources,…..  Thank you!!

Laboratory use of hazardous chemicals means handling or use of such chemicals in which all of the following conditions are met:

Protective laboratory practices and equipment are available and in common use to minimize the potential for employee exposure to hazardous chemicals
