Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 7th ed.
Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards is widely regarded as the reference work in this field — an assembly of all reported risks such as explosion, fire, toxic or high-energy events that result from chemical reactions gone astray, with extensive referencing to the primary literature. It is designed to improve safety in laboratories that perform chemical synthesis and general research, as well as chemical manufacturing plants. Entries are ordered by empirical formula and indexed under both name(s) and Chemical Abstracts Registry Numbers. This two-volume compendium focuses on reactivity risks of chemicals, alone and in combination; toxicity hazards are only included for unexpected reactions giving volatile poisons.
Provides information on planning and building a facility, developing an organization infrastructure, planning for emergencies and contingencies, choosing the correct equipment, developing operational plans, and meeting regulatory requirements. Still the essential reference tool, the New Edition helps you organize your safety efforts to adhere to the latest regulations and use the newest technology.The ideal reference to OSHA safety standards and government regulations.

It covers recent advances in molecular biology, pharmacogenetics, clinical toxicology, and behavioral/clinical research.
The book and CD-ROM set is the first and only resource of its kind to help you comply with ISO 15190. Whether you're new to lab safety or a seasoned veteran, you can rely on this simple, easy-to-understand tool to help you implement critical lab safety measures. Created for lab managers, directors, and compliance officers, this book will serve as a desk reference for your staff on safe practices for a myriad of lab operations. Or, use this guide yourself to deliver and document your lab safety training, manage your lab safety risk, and perform administrative tasks.
Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory, 2nd Ed.
An updated collection of detailed procedures used to degrade and dispose of a broad range of hazardous chemicals whether in bulk quantities, solutions in various solvents or spills. This edition features new chapters on the removal of metal ions and biological stains from solution; the degradation of mycotoxins, enzyme inhibitors, polycyclic heterocyclic hydrocarbons and highly reactive reagents such as butyllithium, peracids and phosgene as well as the use of much less hazardous reagents including molecular sieves. A list of hazardous compounds indexed by name, molecular formula and CAS Registry Number offers ready access to the data.
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. 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.
Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals, 2 vol. set, 4th ed.
For over two decades, the Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals has provided comprehensive, in-depth coverage of dangerous organic compounds along with the control measures designed to reduce their destructive impact on the ecosystem. This new edition is fully updated to reflect the latest research in the field, including new organic chemicals, mixtures, and preparations.
A valuable reference tool for those seeking detailed information and guidance on specific safety and health issues, Handbook of Laboratory Health and Safety, Second Edition is also much more. By providing a set of clear, easy-to-follow guidelines that serve as a rational framework for creating site-specific health and safety requirements, it, in effect, arms laboratory managers with a solid foundation upon which to build—or reengineer—a comprehensive program for identifying, managing, and controlling health and safety hazards in the laboratory. All of the authors' recommended guidelines are clearly presented in the section entitled "Suggested Laboratory Health and Safety Guidelines." Each chapter of the handbook refers to the relevant sections of the Suggested Guidelines, explains the basis for the recommendations, and provides guidance on how to comply. Offering a feasible, easily implemented approach to designing and maintaining a safe workplace, Handbook of Laboratory Health and Safety is an indispensable tool for all those responsible for safeguarding the health and safety of lab workers and the residents of the ambient community
Principles of Toxicology: Environmental and Industrial Applications, 2nd ed.
Provides health protection for professionals as well as environmental scientists with precise, up-to-date, practical information on how to apply the science of toxicology in both the occupational and environmental setting. Features occupational medicine and epidemiological issues, the manifestation of toxic agents, evaluation and control of toxic hazards, and specific case histories.
Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Disposal of Chemicals
This volume updates and combines two National Academy Press bestsellers--Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories and Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemicals from Laboratories--which have served for more than a decade as leading sources of chemical safety guidelines for the laboratory. Developed by experts from academia and industry, with specialties in such areas as chemical sciences, pollution prevention, and laboratory safety, Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories provides step-by-step planning procedures for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. The volume explores the current culture of laboratory safety and provides an updated guide to federal regulations. Organized around a recommended workflow protocol for experiments, the book offers prudent practices designed to promote safety and it includes practical information on assessing hazards, managing chemicals, disposing of wastes, and more. Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories is essential reading for people working with laboratory chemicals: research chemists, technicians, safety officers, chemistry educators, and students.
Divided into two parts, it begins with an introduction to fundamental principles of chemical storage and provides a logical framework for integrating storage concepts. The impact of federal legislation on chemical storage is discussed in detail. Storage requirements for hazardous, flammable, unstable, and incompatible chemicals are also covered. Further, it outlines procedures for labeling chemicals, addressing emergencies, and managing chemical safety with the aid of computers. In the second part, case studies cover such topics as surveys and inspections, large warehouse storage facilities, recommendations for industrial labs and a showcase university chemical storage facility.
Sax’s Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 11th ed. 3 volume set
Since the 1950's, this book has been the number one resource for those who need to evaluate the hazard of substances used in commerce. The eleventh edition contains extensive data on approximately 26,000 substances, including 2000 new entries. The three-volume set includes Immediately Dangerous Life or Health (IDHL) levels for approximately 1000 chemicals, proving essential for designing adequate ventilation systems and selection of respiratory protection. Other highlights include: A special appendix containing information of nerve gases and biological agents that might appear in the workplace as a result of terrorist activity; the only reference that combines, for so many substances, data on toxicological, fire, reactivity, explosive potential, and regulatory information; Regulatory data covers exposure level classifications for a number of regulatory agencies, from OSHA to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Compiles hard-to-find data on over 11,000 chemical compounds, describing a wide range of chemical reactions that produce undesirable results in non-controlled situations.
