This book discusses how the basic principles of chemical safety can be incorporated in chemical education curricula. It includes numerous examples and techniques, and it describes chemical laboratory compliance programs written in accordance with OSHA's laboratory standards. The book emphasizes the teaching of complex toxicological, regulatory, industrial hygiene, and chemical hazard information.
