Chemical safety toolkit

This toolkit contains information to control and manage the risks associated with working with chemicals.

For ease of navigation the information is grouped into sections

Assessing chemical risks (COSHH and DSEAR assessment)
Compressed gases and cryogenics, including acetylene
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), including selection and use
Specific chemical hazards
Transporting novel chemical substances (to other organisations or colleagues)
There are also links to the University's Chemical compliance and licensing requirements

Information about general risk assessments can be found in the risk assessment toolkit.
