Before working at the bench, it is important for researchers to Recognize hazards, Assess and Minimize hazardous risks, and Prepare for emergencies (RAMP). Chemical safety information resources provide tools to help with this evaluation. While users are familiar with the chemistry literature, they often struggle to find chemical safety information. This presentation will cover key resources and useful search strategies. To date, outreach efforts to help familiarize students, faculty, and staff with chemical safety information resources include holding workshops, meeting with lab groups, and participating in a health and safety fair by asking users to “stump the librarian.”
