Didn't Know That Was Available: Online Information for Laboratory Safety"
during the annual NIH-wide Safety, Health, and Wellness Day held today.
"Libraries have a long history of providing people with pathfinders or
guides to the existing literature on a subject. As that literature moved to
the Internet, libraries adapted that tradition to cover the information
found online. The Internet has a profusion of resources on laboratory
safety. The Office of Clinical Toxicology (OCT) in the Division of
Specialized Information Services, National Library of Medicine (NLM),
National Institutes of Health develops new resources and enhances existing
NLM resources to provide professionals in toxicology and related fields with
accurate, current, and useful information in their fields. As part of the
drive to provide accurate, current and useful information, OCT created a
guide to web resources in laboratory safety. Included in the guide are links
to information for clinical, academic and school laboratories, with
resources for handling chemical, biological and nanotechnology safely. Also
included are links to regulations and polic!
y, hazard analysis, MSDS, waste management, and pre-formulated TOXNET and
PubMed searches. Because video can often explain a procedure much better
than can the written, the guide links to several university repositories of
health and safety videos, and to one from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board
about accidents and deaths in academic laboratories. All resources are
evaluated and selected according to specific criteria."
