Research management systems such as electronic lab notebooks are revolutionizing the workflows of research labs across the industrial, government and academic sectors. To support awareness of safety concerns for particular materials and procedures that researchers use in labs, there is a recognized need to integrate chemical data and safety information directly into the workflow. Facilitating access to available chemical hazard handling and management information as researchers are planning experiments is a goal of several management and information systems. Challenging this scenario are the wide range of potentially relevant information sources and diversity of lab processes. This session will feature up-to-date efforts to build connections and search opportunities across laboratory safety information. This is the third session of the one-day Bi-society Symposium on Laboratory Safety Information co-hosted by SLA-DCHE and ACS-CINF.
Program Takeaways
- Participants will learn about a breadth of supporting resources from chemical information and chemical safety specialists.
- Participants will hear about the opportunities for mapping the landscape of safety information, designing and integrating information systems, and supporting researchers using these systems.
- Participants will have a chance to query presenters about the relevancy of the services to their own organizational scenarios.
