Intended as a resource for all school subjects (especially biology, chemistry and physics) regarding safety in labs and in conducting research or experiments. Most material will have a target audience of high school or college professionals and / or students, but none of the sites are so technical that nonprofessionals will have trouble with them.
This is not a category for products which enhance safety. This is for information which, if read and followed, will lead to safer labs and lab behavior.
