"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."

"Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures, 3rd Edition keeps process engineers updated on the effective methodologies that process safety demands. Almost 200 pages of worked examples are included to facilitate understanding. References for further reading, along with charts and diagrams that reflect the latest views and information, make this a completely accessible work. The revised and updated edition includes information not included in previous editions giving a comprehensive overview of this topic area." (publisher's description)

"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."

"Research Laboratory Safety explains the most important prerequisite when working in a laboratory: Knowing the potential hazards of equipment and the chemical materials to be employed. Students learn how to assess and control risks in a research laboratory and to identify a possible danger. An approach on the hazard classes such as physical, chemical, biological and radiation hazards is given and exercises to each class prepare for exams." (publisher's description)
