Reducing Risks to Students and Educators from Hazardous Chemicals in a Secondary School Chemical Inventory
From the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety

Laboratory Safety
from the Sourcebook for Science Teaching, California State University, Northridge. The site includes topically organized links that fall into the areas of safety standards, chemical hazards, chemical storage, and five other relevant topics. Within each section, visitors will find links to state safety standards, sample laboratory safety contracts, and fact sheets on chemical hazards.

Youth@Work: Talking Safety
A foundation curriculum in occupational safety and health. This curriculum is the culmination of many years’ work by a consortium of partners, including NIOSH and the CDC, dedicated to reducing occupational injuries and illnesses among youth.

This curriculum is meant to be used in a classroom or other group training setting, and has been customized for each state and Puerto Rico to address state-specific rules and regulations.

OSHA/EPA Chemical Database
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has jointly developed and made available a new database of approximately 800 chemicals commonly encountered in the workplace.

Green Chemistry Institute
Green chemistry products and processes reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

Green Chemicals Purchasing System
The Green Chemical Alternatives Purchasing Wizard is a web-based tool that allows the user to search from a select list of solvents commonly used in the laboratory, and the associated process. The Wizard identifies less hazardous and more environmentally benign chemicals or processes that may be substituted. You can locate chemical by name or process - all for free!
