Can't Find a MSDS?

UWG faculty, students, and staff may request Material Safety Data Sheets through UWG's Risk Management - Environmental Heath and Safety.

MSDS binders are also available outside TLC 3105.

Chemical Reactivity Worksheet

Chemical Reactivity Worksheet
Contains a database of chemical datasheets for thousands of chemicals. The datasheets describe the physical properties, toxicity, and intrinsic reactive hazards of each chemical. Also included is a reactivity prediction worksheet that allows you to see the results of accidental mixing of various chemicals.

Laboratory Safety

Chemistry Laboratory Information Profiles (CLIPs)
CLIPs can be used to help you assess the precautions your students should take in their laboratory work, or to guide students in a discussion of the precautions they should take for their own laboratory work.

USG Online Training

USG Environmental Heath and Safety Training Modules
Includes Right-to-Know Basic Awareness (Basic and Chemical Specific); Hazardous Waste Awareness; ergonomic training; and more.
