This is an overview of recent advice on safe practice in science laboratories. This book, in a new edition, concentrates on common problems, potentially serious problems, and those where there has been a significant change of opinion or about which teachers have expressed great concerns. For example, the introduction of balanced science means that physicists must know about chemicals, and biologists and chemists must understand electrical hazards. This book may be used by laboratory technicians to identify the range of potential safety problems, while those with management responsibilities are provided with the main issues inherent in the topic of health and safety in the science laboratory. This edition reflects changes in the management of health and safety.
