This category contains links to OH&S sites in countries around the world.
Sites found here are college and university health and safety departments, responsible for training and informing faculty, students, and visitors about all types of safety issues on campus. This is not intended for academic departments which offer degrees in health and safety, though a subcategory with this may be created in due time.
Most university safety issues are related to safety in and around laboratories, but other material such as recordkeeping, vehicle usage, and legal issues will be available as well.

The Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA), a federal entity, is charged with every issue concerning workplace safety, and health. Primarily they are regulatory in nature, but also have enforcement authority. OSHA works with a number of other entities, including subdivisions of the Center for Disease Control.
OSHA, allows states to maintain their own office's of Occupational Safety and Health, through a legislative act. Specifically, Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) encourages States to develop and operate their own job safety and health programs. States must set job safety and health standards that are "at least as effective as" comparable federal standards. (Most States adopt standards identical to federal ones.) States have the option to promulgate standards covering hazards not addressed by federal standards.
Those states that fail to maintain these standards, or those that have significant industrial injuries, again are monitored by OSHA.
Toxic substances can be found in most places of work, and their safe use and storage is essential.
Laser and laser pointer safety sites. Lasers are used in industrial and academic research as well as in the classroom at times. Laser pointers are just small, low-power lasers, so they are represented as well.
An "MSDS" is a Material Safety Data Sheet, a document which summarizes the purpose, hazards, and other information about a substance or material. Different government jurisdictions and industries have differing MSDS requirements. In the interests of public and worker safety, however, their MSDS libraries are frequently shared.
This category contains sites that link directly to MSDS information, or which provide directories, search engines, or other gateways related to chemical safety or MSDS information.
