Are there any good written audit protocols, checklists, or questions that one could use to audit and record findings, non-conformance issues, and correctives actions for industrial chemical labs?
Statistics means never having to say you're certain.

If you have "spill kits" in your labs (and you should) and you expect your
employees to use them, then you MUST train them on the proper response to
small chemical spills. The agenda should include proper PPE, selection and
use of clean-up materials in your kits, and preparation for disposal
procedures.
Small chemical spills can properly be considered "incidental" and fall
outside the scope of 1910.120.

Chemical Specialty Industry (manufacturing) 24 employees We do have Spill
kits in the lab. We have a bigger kit in our Production Facility. We always
have a HAZWOPER RETRAINING for all employees on a regular frequency. If
our spill is greater than 5 gal, an outside Emergency Response Company will
handle it.

Industry (R&D) 200+
We have spill kits for all our labs (acid, base. Solvent, oil, pillows,
loose sorbent, mercury kits, as needed in each lab) and large stashes of
spill supplies around the building in case of outside spill. WE also
maintain a Emergency Spill Response team with 40 hr HAZWOPER able to respond
with level B (SCBA) gear to anything our lab workers can't handle with the
spill kits on hand.

Academia, small liberal arts private college, approximately 1200-1400
students in residence.
We provide spill kits in each lab with absorbent pads/pillows, kitty litter,
sand, baking soda, citric acid, mercury spill kit (for that random
thermometer you occasionally find), gloves, disposal bags, hand broom and
dust pan, a permanent marker and a spill kit usage laminated card. We also
have a first aid kit, broken glass box, and a long handled broom and pan.
Students provide their own goggles, we provide gloves and aprons.
Safety equipment includes fire extinguisher, safety shower, eyewash and in
some older labs a fire blanket. Oh, an all chemistry labs have hoods.

All
I am trying to gauge if folks provide chemical spill kits in labs. When
you respond if you could indicate whether or not you work in academia vs.
industry.
Thanks
