Unique Approach and Organization
This is a unique textbook designed to be used throughout the four years of undergraduate study. Topics are targeted toward each level (year) of study by the students over their undergraduate experience. Topically, it is divided into eight chapters and further into 73 sections for introductory (year 1) intermediate (year 2) and advanced topics (years 3 and 4).
RAMP
This book will help chemists and other scientists use four simple principles of laboratory and chemical safety to:
1. Recognize hazards;
2. Assess the risks of those hazards;
3. Minimize the risks of those hazards; and
4. Prepare to respond to emergencies.
We use the acronym RAMP to remind the student of these principles and present RAMP in every section of the book as constant reminder of its applicability. This paradigm has been adopted in several quarters of the educational chemical health and safety community as well as the ACS CPT.
