Chemical Safety Information

This page contains links to the Department's internal safety documents and training aids, as well as links to external sources of information. These pages are always a work in progress, and may contain errors. We would be happy to have mistakes, or recommendations for additions, brought to our attention.

Although the internal documents are, of course, in many ways specific to our building and our Department, they may prove useful as models for other programs and departments. Feel free to copy them, or to link our site to yours as an additional resource for your staff..
