The limitations of Globally Harmonized Chemical Safety information means that Safety Data Sheets and chemical labels can only be the starting point for assessing risks associated with specific laboratory processes. This presentation will discuss how GHS information can be used to develop a risk assessment that support development of a prudent safety management system in the chemistry laboratory. Effective use of chemical literature to document these assessments and management choices will be emphasized.
