Over the course of 2016 and 2017, representatives of the American Chemical Society’s Committee on Chemical Safety and Division of Chemical Health and Safety developed an ACS policy statement on chemical safety as well as document describing Safety Guidelines for the Chemistry Professional. These are designed to support chemists as they perform their daily work in safe and environmentally responsible way.
Safety Guidelines for the Chemistry Professional
This is a valuable initiative by ACS to prioritize safety in the lab. The guidelines will surely help chemistry professionals maintain a safer, more responsible work environment. A great step toward embedding safety culture in everyday chemical practice!
