Tools to prevent process safety events at university research facility - chemical risk assessment and experimental set-up risk assessment.

The article discusses the two forms developed to examine the hazards of the chemicals to be used in the experiments in the experimental setup in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering of the Technical University of Denmark. A system for the safety assessment of new experimental setups in university research and teaching laboratories is presented. The significance of the forms for the effort of researchers in improving work with significant hazards is described.
