This is a discussion we should be having. CHAS should provide guidance to the ACS on methods to implement this very difficult challenge. A starting point for the discussion is the article by Scott Goode -

 

Review and analysis of safety policies of chemical journals

Journal of Chemical Health and Safety, Volume 23, Issue 3, May-June 2016, Pages 30-35

Lauren E. Grabowski, Scott R. Goode

 

There are many valuable suggestions in the article for communicating hazard information. Further, I refer you to the instructions for authors in the ACS journal OPRD. This journal has required such information for many years.

 

Please give this thought and comment.

 

Neal

Hope researchers/scientists will also report/mention the instability of intermediates, scale-up difficulties and run-away reactions involving impurities of substrates, solvents and intermediates.

How I wish there was a way to add a short phrase providing readers with invormation on what is NOT known about any chemicals involved in the process.  How helpful it would be if, like the E.U. version of the SDS, Section 11, there was clear indications of those hazards for which there is "no data" such as cancer, reproductive, STOT acute and chronic.  If only hazards that are "known" are menotioned, Chemists will do the same thing that ordinary consumers do:  they will assume the hazards "known" are essentially all the hazards these chemicals have.

New post on The Safety Zone

 

ACS journals enact new safety policy

by Jyllian Kemsley

pubs-logoAmerican Chemical Society journals will have a new safety reporting requirement starting in 2017: Authors must "address and emphasize any unexpected, new, and/or significant hazards or risks associated with the reported work," says an ACS Central Science editorial describing the change (2016, DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.6b00341).

ACS Publications editors and staff took a closer look at how the journals addressed safety after a "confluence of events" that included high-profile accidents and a survey of safety policies of chemical journals (J. Chem. Health Saf. 2016, DOI: 10.1016/j.jchas.2015.10.001), says Sarah Tegen, vice president for global editorial and author services at ACS. ACS also publishes C&EN. Previously, individual journals set their own safety policies.
