The construction of new laboratory buildings or the renovation of existing ones requires close communication between laboratory users, project engineers, architects, construction engineers, and health and safety personnel.  All too often, health and safety considerations are overlooked or slighted and are not sufficiently incorporated into designs.  Guidelines for Laboratory Design provides reliable design information related to specific health and safety issues that need to be considered when building or renovating laboratories.

• A new section on design for environmental preservation through the operation and maintenance of health and safety. 
• The latest information on laboratory ventilation and safety systems.
• Incorporation of "green" laboratory design techniques.
• Discussions on the architectural, engineering, regulatory, and health and safety aspects unique to the renovation process.

'Bretherick' is widely accepted as the reference work on reactive chemical hazards and is esential for all those working with chemicals. It includes every chemical for which documented information on reactive hazards has been found. The text covers over 5000 elements and compounds and as many again of secondary entries involving two or more compounds. One of its most valuable feaures is the extensive cross referencing throughtout both sections which links similar compounds or incidents not obviously related.
