Editorial Reviews
Review
"The 86 articles are intended to comprise the most complete and comprehensive resource on chemical health and safety, replacing many earlier texts, and be the first place chemists, chemical hygiene officers, and safety specialists will look for answers to both simple and complex problems. Specialists in different topics, almost all from the US, cover safety management and policy, risk management, emergency management, laboratory equipment, chemical management, radiological and biological safety, laboratory design, and environmental management. Each entry contains its own bibliography of sources for further information."--SciTech Book News

Product Description
This handbook provides the tools necessary to create and maintain a safe work environment. It provides a starting point for any chemical safety study, from providing information on proper chemical and equipment handling to guidance on purchasing, storage, use and disposal. The safe use of
specialized equipment is outlined and answers to both simple and complex questions related to workplace and environmental laws and regulations help keep you in compliance with the strict regulatory world. Emergency preparedness plans are given, enabling facilities to pre-plan for most emergency
situations and spill prevention and cleanup plans are included. In addition to these chemical safety topics, this book includes industrial hygiene issues, radiation safety practices, safe laboratory and facility design criteria, bio safety issues and more. This is the single most useful how-to guide
available on issues related to chemical safety and will be an absolute necessity in any lab, chemist, chemical hygiene officer or safety specialist's workplace.
