    5.0 out of 5 stars The Safety Standard. Period., July 2, 2004
    This review is from: CRC Handbook of Laboratory Safety: Fourth Edition (Crc Handbook of Laboratory Safety, 4th ed) (Hardcover)
    Thirty years ago I met the predecessor to this volume. Sounds like a long time? I have made it those 30 years because of what I learned from this book.

    If you are a chemistry student (I was a freshman when I encountered this book) then you need to read this book before you start working with your reagents.

    If you are employed in a field where you work in a laboratory or come into contact with laboratory materials (albeit - it is aimed at chemical labs and not specifically at bioscience labs) then you need to read about the materials you could be exposed to, BEFORE you are exposed.

    If you are a medical professional - then you already have one.

    If you are a legal professional and you deal with toxic torts: you need one.

    Concise, clear and accessible by any high school grad. If you work with chemicals - you need this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars and I might add..., October 27, 2009
    This review is from: CRC Handbook of Laboratory Safety, 5th Edition (Hardcover)
    ... I am a librarian at an architectural firm that designs labs and a partner asked that I order this book. My only disappointment is that no new edition is planned and like all things technical, there are new discliplines not mentioned in the book because... they hadn't been invented (so to speak) yet.

    First Sentence:
    Safety and health programs for industrial organizations began to be significant early in the 20th century, and since then, there were slow but steady improvements in the industrial working environment, until, in the early 1970s, the Federal Occupational Health and Safety Act was passed as a national program to establish minimum standards for safety for industrial workers. Read the first page
