Bibliography for Laboratory Health and Safety

The Most important single reference for schools is the National Research Council's Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Disposal of Chemicals. It was published in Washington, D.C. by the National Academy Press in1995. Additional information of value to science teachers is provided by a wide variety of publications and Internet web sites of the federal government and state agencies, professional associations, and private publishers. This listing is divided into three sections:

I. References Providing Information on General Laboratory Safety,

II. Sources for More Specific Information on Individual Hazards, and

III. Significant Safety-Related Internet Sites.
