The Pistoia Alliance Chemical Safety Library (CSL) provides unique crowd sourced data content containing hazardous reactions that can be used to alert scientists to potential dangerous experiments. CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is committed to increasing safety in the lab and has provided this open access platform to serve scientists worldwide. Search by CAS Registry Number, CSL Number, Chemical Name, SMILES, InChi, InChi Key, or MCFD Numbers.
Micromedex enables searching across a suite of drug information databases, covering drug administration, adverse effects, clinical applications, contraindications, dosage, indications, interactions, over-dosage, pharmacology, precautions, product/substance identification, toxicity, references, synonyms, and uses. Databases include: NeoFax, Physicians Desk Reference (PDR), Martindale International drug information - including investigational and herbal drugs, POISINDEX, and DRUGDEX (Consults and Evaluations), P&T Quik Reports, MSDS from USP, REPRORISK, DESEASEDEX (General and Emergency), Alternative Medicines, TOMES, RED BOOK (wholesale drug prices), and calculators. Four mobile apps are available: Micromedex Drug Ref, Micromedex Drug Int, Micromedex IV Comp, and Micromedex NeoFax. Micromedex is a product of Merative, formerly IBM Watson Health.
American Chemical Society created this “90-minute online course that provides students with the vital concepts of chemical safety and prepares them for their first experiment in the general chemistry lab. Developed by leading experts, the six interactive learning modules in ACS Essentials of Lab Safety for General Chemistry introduce the RAMP framework, a commonly used laboratory risk assessment method, and walk students through the four principles of RAMP—Recognize hazards, Assess risks, Minimize risks, and Prepare for emergencies. Critical instruction is brought to life through narrated presentations with real-life photos and videos, and the course is completed with a capstone exercise to assess understanding of foundational lab safety protocols.“
American Chemical Society created this “90-minute course that guides students and faculty through five real-world lab safety incident case studies. Based on the RAMP model, this course teaches fundamental risk assessment skills that are universally applicable to all research environments throughout their academic career and into industry. Each case study leads students through the exploration of a real-world research laboratory incident with questions that prompt them to reflect on how and why incidents happen. This process helps students reason through decisions at various levels and identify ways to assess risks and minimize hazards, even when performing common tasks in the lab.”
