From: Hakkinen, Pertti (NIH/NLM) [E] My colleague (Stephanie Publicker) and I presented a poster on "Wow, I Didn't Know That Was Available: Online Information for Laboratory Safety" during the annual NIH-wide Safety, Health, and Wellness Day held today. The abstract: This is the link to the ?Laboratory Safety? guide to web resources: http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/enviro/labsafety.html . Also, anyone interested is welcome to contact me for a PDF of the poster. Sincerely, Pertti (Bert) J. Hakkinen, Ph.D.

Re: PDF of a poster on ""Wow, I Didn't Know That Was Available: Online Information for Laboratory Safety" available
?Libraries have a long history of providing people with pathfinders or guides to the existing literature on a subject. As that literature moved to the Internet, libraries adapted that tradition to cover the information found online. The Internet has a profusion of resources on laboratory safety. The Office of Clinical Toxicology (OCT) in the Division of Specialized Information Services, National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Institutes of Health develops new resources and enhances existing NLM resources to provide professionals in toxicology and related fields with accurate, current, and useful information in their fields. As part of the drive to provide accurate, current and useful information, OCT created a guide to web resources in laboratory safety. Included in the guide are links to information for clinical, academic and school laboratories, with resources for handling chemical, biological and nanotechnology safely. Also included are links to regulations and polic!
y, hazard analysis, MSDS, waste management, and pre-formulated TOXNET and PubMed searches. Because video can often explain a procedure much better than can the written, the guide links to several university repositories of health and safety videos, and to one from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board about accidents and deaths in academic laboratories. All resources are evaluated and selected according to specific criteria.?
