3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful, though somewhat old., June 2, 2004
This review is from: Improving Safety in the Chemical Laboratory: A Practical Guide (Hardcover)
This "practical guide" contains a wealth of information. Chapters on Materials Safety Data Sheets and labeling, training programs and drills, flammability and combustibility, storage of laboratory chemicals, federal regulations, safe disposal of chemical waste, laboratory design, and fume hoods were the most useful, in my opinion. The chapter that listed causes of accidents was not very helpful, except as a checklist of things to avoid, and the penultimate chapter on using audiovisual materials in safety training was short and outdated. The fume hood chapter, which was actually a good read, was obviously written by someone who knows a lot about chemical fume hoods and should probably be required reading for anyone involved in building or renovating a laboratory.
