Prudent Practices Update

美国国家科学院将通过其化学科学和技术委员会增订1995年出版的《实验室的谨慎做法：化学品的处理和处置》。一个在普通化学、环境健康和安全、风险管理、化学教育、材料科学、实验室管理、法规遵从性和生物安全领域具有专门知识的委员会将修改现有内容，并根据需要增加内容，以反映自上次出版以来出现的新领域和发展。该委员会将有来自四年制和两年制学院、大学、其他研究机构、医学院、工业企业和工业安全顾问的代表。本报告适用于任何存放或使用化学品的实验室，对物理学和应用物理学、材料科学、生物学和分子生物学以及其他领域产生影响。它提供了一个公认的、全面的指导来源，环境、健康和安全专业人员和社区领导人可以利用它来确定实验室设施及其周围的社区得到保障，免受涉及化学品的实验室活动带来的不必要的风险。

The National Academies, through its Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology, will update the 1995 publication, Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Disposal of Chemicals. A committee with expertise in the area of general chemistry, environmental health and safety, risk management, chemistry education, materials science, laboratory management, regulatory compliance, and biosafety will modify the existing content and add content as required to reflect new fields and developments that have occurred since the previous publication. The committee will have representation from four-year and two-year colleges, universities, other research institutions, medical schools, industrial firms and industrial safety consultants. This report is relevant to any laboratory where storage or use of chemicals occurs, providing impact in physics and applied physics, materials science, biology and molecular biology, and other areas. It provides an accepted, comprehensive source of guidance that Environmental, Health and Safety professionals and community leaders can use to ascertain that laboratory facilities and the communities that surround them are safeguarded against unnecessary risk from laboratory activities involving chemicals.
