Labs and Experiments
Intended as a resource for all school subjects (especially biology, chemistry and physics) regarding safety in labs and in conducting research or experiments. Most material will have a target audience of high school or college professionals and/or students, but none of the sites are so technical that nonprofessionals will have trouble with them.
This is not a category for products which enhance safety. This is for information which, if read and followed, will lead to safer labs and lab behavior.

Sites in Labs and Experiments
Laboratory Fire Safety
From U of Oklahoma Dept. of Public Safety
The Laboratory Safety Workshop
A non-profit national center for health, safety and environmental affairs. The workshop's mission is to make health and safety an integral and important part of science education, work, and life in general.
Online Safety Manuals
Safety manuals of all types on the web.
Laboratory Safety
Information is provided courtesy of the Department of Health, Safety & Environment at the University of British Columbia.
Laboratory Safety Information
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's laboratory safety program.
MSDS Quiz

Safety in Organic Chemistry Laboratory
Explicit guidelines which are reasonable for all chemistry labs. Easily adaptable into a safety contract.
Laboratory Chemical Safety Summaries
Concise, critical discussions of the toxicity, flammability, reactivity, and explosibility of 88 chemicals commonly used in scientific research laboratories. Directions for handling, storage, and disposal and special instructions for first aid and emergency response are given. Unlike most Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), the LCSSs are designed especially for laboratory workers.
Science Lab Safety Rules
Covers all aspects of high school safety in a lab. Seems to be most appropriate for chemistry situations, but there is much which applies to biology or physics.
Bioethics Resources on the Web
This website provides a comprehensive catalogue of bioethics resources within the National Institutes of Health and on the web.
Safety Info.Com
Over 1000 pages of free safety information.
Incompatible Chemicals
A wide variety of chemicals react dangerously when mixed with certain other materials. Some of the more widely-used incompatible chemicals are listed here, but the absence of a chemical from this list should not be taken to indicate that it is safe to mix it with any other chemical.
New Chemistry Lab Guide
Dr. Cal's good laboratory practices and WWW chemistry information for students. Topics include lab safety, lab report writing, preparing for lab, and organic lab tips.
Hazardous Products and Compounds in the Home
Alphabetical listing of many household products and the hazardous compounds which make up these products. Many of these materials are used in labs, experiments and even art projects.
Safety in the Laboratory
General rules which apply to any laboratory situation.
Chemistry Safety Quiz
A short quiz that may prove surprising to you.
Animals in the Classroom
Guidelines for responsible use of animals for educational purposes.
