Venue: COMSTECH Secretariat, Islamabad-Pakistan
Introduction
The Islamic world is very diverse, comprising of many developing countries which are still in need of awareness and knowledge regarding the latest scientific research techniques. The current scientific research topics touch many fields of expertise requiring interdisciplinary expertise. In this scenario, researchers, scientists working in all fields of natural sciences have to indulge themselves in research techniques from other disciplines to produce authentic and reliable research.
The work carried out in laboratories around the globe continues to enable important advances in science and engineering. The laboratories have become the center for acquiring knowledge and developing new materials for future use, as well as for monitoring and controlling those chemicals currently used routinely in thousands of commercial processes. The chemicals and equipment used today are beneficial, but simultaneously have the potential to damage human health, the environment, equipment, and the property.
A new culture of safety and security consciousness, accountability, has developed in organizations, and educational institutions around the world. Particularly, the laboratories of the chemical industry, government, and academia have developed special procedures and equipment for handling and managing chemicals and equipment safely and securely.
Realizing the importance of Chemical Safety & Security for Laboratories, a two-day program has been planned focusing on the subject in August 2021.
Objective
The program focuses on lectures being delivered by expert, eminent scholars/researchers in the area of Laboratory & Chemical Safety & Security, aimed at building concepts, enhancing critical thinking, and developing understanding of the subject at undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels.
Laboratory & Chemical Safety & Security has critical role for staff, faculty, researchers and students working in a Chemical Laboratory. The program is designed aimed to get understanding on how to protect their health including but laboratory assess and environment, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
Target Audience:
Scientists, Researchers, Lab supervisors, from the OIC countries.
