Structured Development of SOPs is a laboratory hazard assessment tool developed by the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety's Hazard Assessment Task Force. This tool makes use of other hazard assessment methods in a highly structured method to provide a comprehensive review of hazards associated with laboratory research. The products of using this method make it very easy to prepare Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to minimize the potential for and consequences of laboratory incidents. This presentation will address reasons to use this method, potential limitations, and tips for successfully using this method.
