Recommended Safety Guides for Industrial Laboratories and Shops 
A booklet containing recommended safety guides 
for typical hazard areas in industrial laboratories 
and shops has been made available. It includes 
references to 29 other publications which provide 
additional information on hazard control and ap-
proved safety practices. 
The areas covered include pressurized gas and 
vacuum systems, with special emphasis on pressure 
fittings, gages, flexible hose, and design problems in-
volving pressure vessels and their components. Guide-
lines are also presented for safeguarding facilities 
where machinery, equipment, electrical devices, or 
hazardous chemicals (particularly, perchloric acid) 
are used. Brief chapters touch on the chemical and 
flame resistance characteristics of certain fabrics com-
monly sold and used for protective clothing; the 
specifications for safe cranes, hoists, gasoline and 
electric-driven scooters; inspection guidelines and 
checklists for hazards in the R&D facilities, and 
similar information for office safety.
Finally, the booklet presents a suggested accident 
investigation guideline, to be used in gathering data 
which will aid in establishing a safe facility or 
working environment to avoid future accidents.
