"The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) addresses classification and labelling of chemicals by types of hazards. It provides the basis for worldwide harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals and aims at enhancing the protection of human health and the environment during their handling, transport and use by ensuring that the information about their physical, health and environmental hazards is available."

"Prudent Practices in the Laboratory--the book that has served for decades as the standard for chemical laboratory safety practice--now features updates and new topics. This revised edition has an expanded chapter on chemical management and delves into new areas, such as nanotechnology, laboratory security, and emergency planning. Developed by experts from academia and industry, with specialties in such areas as chemical sciences, pollution prevention, and laboratory safety, Prudent Practices in the Laboratory provides guidance on planning procedures for the handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. The book offers prudent practices designed to promote safety and includes practical information on assessing hazards, managing chemicals, disposing of wastes, and more. Prudent Practices in the Laboratory will continue to serve as the leading source of chemical safety guidelines for people working with laboratory chemicals: research chemists, technicians, safety officers, educators, and students."

"The ACS Committee on Chemical Safety, in close coordination with the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety, commissioned a task force of stakeholders and subject matter experts to create a guide for identifying and evaluating hazards, and managing the associated risks of these hazards in research laboratories. The following factors were considered during the development of this guide: *To provide techniques to ensure hazard information is gathered and analyzed; *To aid researchers in recognizing the value of input from others with varying experiences; *To provide techniques that can be used for a variety of different types of activities (routine protocols, modifications to current research, or entirely new activities); and *To consider the variable nature of research tasks by providing tools that help researchers recognize and respond to change—both large and small. This guide was developed for researchers without deference to where they are in their careers— undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, instructors, principal investigators (PIs), technicians, or department chairs—who have varied approaches to learning and experimental design and who may require different kinds of assessment tools."
