Safety in the Chemical Laboratory and Industry: A Practical Guide provides an authoritative reference on chemical safety procedures and the handling and disposal of chemicals at both the laboratory and industrial level. The book serves as a practical guide for laboratory workers and offers prudent guidelines for the development of regulatory policy for academic and non-academic organizations. The book stresses that all accidental injuries can be minimized if systems and attitudes are in place to prevent them and that to fully materialize a safety culture, even with improved technology, everyone should be mindful of maintaining a safe environment.
This handbook will assist faculty, researchers, staff and students to provide a safe and healthy laboratory environment to teach, learn and conduct research.
- Helps understand the basic principles of chemical safety
- Provides guidance how to create a culture of chemical safety and how to deal with hazardous waste disposal
- Handles minimization of risks related to chemicals
(Under)graduate students in chemical engineering and chemistry, faculty members, researchers and practitioners in chemical industry and other industry manipulating chemicals, Chemical community dealing with chemicals in various industries, such as textile, paint, sugar, polymer
