Kuespert Daniel Reid. Research Laboratory Safety

De Gruyter, 2016. — 283 p. — ISBN 978-3-11-044439-1.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.Introductory Material
