I've restrained myself from weighing in on this one.  I could go on for a number of days, sharing war stories and experiences.

 

I would offer four resources, however, that may not have been mentioned yet.

 

At UC Davis, we use the Campus Design Guide here:  http://dcm.ucdavis.edu/cdg/index.html  I've had a fair amount of input into the document and it gets well-used.

 

The UC system has a Laboratory Design Guide here:  http://lsdm.ucop.edu/  It's an update of our old lab safety design guide from 2007.

 

DiBerardinis and Baum have published the 4th edition of Guidelines for Laboratory Design:  Health, Safety, and Environmental Considerations.  It's excellent.  https://ilp.mit.edu/webpubdetail.jsp?id=221

 

The Harvard School of Public Health offers and advanced laboratory safety design workshop here:  https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ecpe/programs/guidelines-for-laboratory-design/  I've attended it and it's really worthwhile.

 

HTH,

Debbie

Birkett's hypothesis: "Any chemical reaction

that proceeds smoothly under normal conditions,

can proceed violently in the presence of an idiot."
