Description

Many of the chemical substances used in university laboratories, such as reagents and gases, are potential fire and explosive hazards and are harmful to human health and the environment. To handle chemical substances safely and appropriately, it is necessary to understand the laws and regulations governing their use as well as the individual characteristics of chemical substances. In this article, we explain Japanese laws and regulations, such as the Industrial Safety and Health Law and the Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Law, which must be followed when working with chemical substances in university laboratories. We also explain how to check for hazards, handle precautions, and follow applicable laws on chemical substances based on the information on labels and safety data sheets. We then introduce the Toyama University Lab. chemicals InPut System (TULIP), which is considered effective for the proper management of reagents and gas cylinders in laboratories.
