The goal of this publication was to provide a protocol for development of standard operating procedures that would serve as a complement to the Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security: A Guide to Prudent Chemical Management and be included with the other materials in the 2010 toolkit. The hope is that this toolkit expansion product will enhance the use of the previous reference book and the accompanying toolkit, especially in developing countries where safety resources are scarce and experience of operators and end-users may be limited.

Description
Building on the Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security Toolkit materials developed in 2010 for the State Department’s Chemical Security Engagement Program (CSP), an ad-hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academy of Science’s Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology will develop a template and guide for developing standard operating procedures for safe and secure handling, management, and storage of chemicals in chemical laboratories. These deliverables will be designed for use in academic and small- to mid-sized industrial settings in countries where CSP is active. These materials may be translated into multiple languages, including Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic, and French, to serve as a complement to the Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security Toolkit.
