The Safety Standard. Period.Thirty years ago I met the predecessor to this volume. Sounds like a long time? I have made it those 30 years because of what I learned from this book.If you are a chemistry student (I was a freshman when I encountered this book) then you need to read this book before you start working with your reagents. If you are employed in a field where you work in a laboratory or come into contact with laboratory materials (albeit - it is aimed at chemical labs and not specifically at bioscience labs) then you need to read about the materials you could be exposed to, BEFORE you are exposed. If you are a medical professional - then you already have one. If you are a legal professional and you deal with toxic torts: you need one. Concise, clear and accessible by any high school grad. If you work with chemicals - you need this book. |
