The use of chemicals in research laboratories presents specific risks due to the variety of substances and their inherent properties.

A substance used in research laboratories. Each chemical has its own set of potential risks.

A property of a chemical that can cause harm. This can include fire hazards, health risks, or environmental damage.

A collection of scientific facilities that are dedicated to research and development.

The process of conducting research and development using scientific methods and tools.

The dangers associated with chemicals, such as fire, explosion, toxicity, or reactivity.

Steps taken to minimize risk of exposure and accidents when handling chemicals.

Coming into contact with a chemical, either directly or through inhalation, ingestion, or absorption.

An unexpected incident involving chemicals that results in harm or damage.

The importance of understanding chemical hazards and taking appropriate precautions to prevent harm.

It's highly unlikely something will happen, making it easier to dismiss the possibility.

The tendency to avoid focusing on an event because it seems highly improbable.

A mental state where we focus on the likelihood of an event happening, even if it's not immediately probable.

The act of stating or believing that an event will occur, even if it seems improbable.

A strategy to avoid the improbable event trap by acknowledging the possibility of the event happening.

The potential for chemicals to be misused accidentally, such as through spills or improper handling.

The deliberate use of chemicals for illegal purposes, such as making explosives or drugs.

Chemicals used in the production of illegal drugs, often with harmful side effects.

Chemicals intentionally misused for acts of terrorism, such as creating explosives or poisons.

The importance of preventing both accidental and intentional misuse of chemicals to protect people and the environment.

A global system for classifying and labeling chemicals to ensure consistent communication of hazards and safe handling practices.

A 1992 United Nations conference focused on sustainable development, where the GHS was born.

A United Nations agency that promotes decent work and protects workers' rights, including workplace safety.

A system for classifying chemicals based on their hazards. It helps communicate the risks associated with chemicals.

A system for clearly labeling chemicals with standardized hazard symbols and information about risks and precautions.

The temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite when a source of ignition is present.

The range of concentrations of a flammable substance in air that will support combustion.

The minimum temperature at which a substance will ignite and continue to burn in air without a continuing source of ignition.

The degree of hazard associated with a flammable liquid, determined by its flash point, flammability limits and ignition temperature.

These factors define how easily a liquid can ignite and burn, affecting the risk of fire.
