Abstract

Fire safety in chemical laboratories is often the stepchild in industrial safety concepts. This is due to the small quantities of chemicals handled and underestimation of loss of research results and infrastructure. Managing fire safety in chemical laboratories depends more on prevention than the work of fire fighters. In this article the safety policy of Givaudan is described in detail.
