§ 14001 Restricted Materials Regulation

• •A director is in charge of controlling restricted materials.
• •Control includes setting rules and overseeing how the materials are used.
• •Only items that meet the definition in Section 14004.5 are covered.

A research lab discovers a chemical that is listed as a restricted material under the criteria in Section 14004.5.

The lab’s director has to decide who can use the chemical, how it can be stored, and what safety steps must be followed, instead of letting anyone handle it however they want.
