Lab Safety:
When It Matters Most

Why Offline Safety Matters

If you spill concentrated acid on the bench, you do not have time to open a browser, navigate to an SDS, wait for a PDF to load, and scroll to the spill response section. You need the information immediately, on your phone, without needing internet.

BenchCalc includes lab safety guides as part of the Bench Guide. Each entry follows the same format: handling instructions, spill response, and first aid. The consistency matters because in an emergency you should not be hunting through different layouts for the information you need.

What Is Covered

The lab safety section covers five hazard categories: acids and bases, organic solvents, biological and mutagens, toxic reagents, and physical hazards. Each category contains entries for specific reagents or hazard types, with toxicity data where relevant.

Connected to Everything Else

The safety guides are connected to the rest of the app. If you are looking at a reagent in the reference tables and it is hazardous, you can navigate directly to the relevant safety information. If you encounter a term you are not sure about, the glossary is one tap away.

Not a Replacement

BenchCalc is not a replacement for your institution's safety training or risk assessments. It is a quick-reference companion for when you need to look something up fast.
