Handbook for Laboratory Safety provides insights into what you should expect when you enter a laboratory, along with how to behave in these specialized work environments. It is a practical book that can be used as a general introduction to laboratory safety, but also works as a resource for employees or students who do laboratory work. Students could carry this book in their backpack, whereas university/institute/company laboratories could place the book in every laboratory as a reference. This book is also ideally suited for essential courses for students, (new) employees or laboratory technicians who are starting their work in a laboratory environment.

This book presents a theoretical framework for the quantitative calculation of casualties and damage from jet fires caused by high-pressure gas leaks in pressure vessels or pipelines. The framework incorporates gas leakage models, combustion dynamics models, thermal radiation models, and thermal damage criteria. It conducts sensitivity and uncertainty analyses for the input parameters of the theoretical framework. The robustness of the theoretical framework is verified through field tests. Ultimately, the theoretical framework is used to quantitatively analyze the accidents involving jet fires due to the rupture of natural gas transmission pipelines. The sub-models within the theoretical framework are developed using the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, combustion, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer, and have been validated by small-scale laboratory tests. However, the theoretical framework receives the validation of field tests and real-world case studies. The theoretical deductions in this book offer significant guidance for scaling up from the laboratory experiments to field applications. The book is intended for anyone interested in understanding the risks associated with gas leaks and jet fires. The methodology enables the calculation of hazards for specific processes in isolation or their integration to assess overall consequences.

This book serves as a great reference for engineering technicians and researchers in a wide range of fields, including emergency management, public safety science, risk management, emergency communication, and transportation optimization. This book carried out researches about the public emergency behavior guidance strategies and methods for major chemical accidents. They put forward the classification model of emergency evacuation events, the selection of public emergency guidance strategies, the quantitative assessment of emergency response risk as well as the characteristics of sub-regional evacuation based on a wide range of theories, including safety engineering, social science, behavioral science, etc. Methods, such as case statistics and analysis, field research as well as modeling and simulation, were applied. Five chapters were covered by the book, including introduction of study background, statistics and analysis of hazardous chemical leakage accidents and emergency evacuation response in China in recent ten years, shelter-in-place risk assessment for high-pressure natural gas wells with hydrogen sulphide, dynamic emergency route planning, and characteristics analysis of sub-regional evacuation.
