Abstract: "Health and safety are complicated and often neglected issues in laboratory design. Since the successful publication in 1987 of the first edition of Guidelines for Laboratory Design: Health and Safety Considerations, many new issues involved in cost-effective design of new laboratories or in the renovation of existing facilities need to be dealt with. For laboratory owners and managers, architects, engineers, health and safety personnel, and risk managers, this new edition provides a systematic approach to examining the occupational health and safety factors that have a direct bearing on those who work in science and engineering laboratories.".
