- Abstract
Scientists at universities throughout Iraq are actively reporting incidents and actual incidents occurring in their labs, as well as structural improvements that have been made to improve safety and security, raise awareness and encourage openness, leading to widespread adoption of Chemical Safety and Security (CSS) practices. The enhancement of students’ accepting of ideas in knowledge and its requests, practical scientific skills and understanding of how science and scientists work in laboratory experiences have been considered key aspects of education in science for over 100 years. Facility requirements for the necessary level of safety and security combined with specific requirements relevant to the course to be conducted dictate the the structural design of a particular laboratory, the design process must be addressed both. This manuscript is the sixth in a series of seven case studies describing laboratory accidents, accidents and laboratory improvements. We summarize the process used to guide a major renovation of postgraduate chemistry laboratory facilities at Al-Nahrain University and discuss lessons learned from the project.
