As a complex research and medical university, employees and students at Stanford University may work with agents known or suspected of being capable of posing a hazard to human reproduction. "It is the policy of Stanford University to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Managers and supervisors are responsible for the establishment and maintenance of good health and safety practices.” Stanford has developed a Reproductive and Developmental Health Protection Program with the objective of 1) protecting the reproductive health of all employees, students, and visitors from occupational exposures to substances (chemical, biological, radiological or physical) known or suspected of being capable of posing a hazard to human reproduction, and 2) identifying potential reproductive and developmental hazards and implementing appropriate exposure control measures. This presentation will review the various elements of the program as applied in a major academic research institution.
