Abstract
Understanding and mitigating laboratory hazards is essential for fostering safe and inclusive research environments. However, conducting risk assessments can be challenging and time-consuming, especially for scientists who have new or specific concerns about hazard susceptibility, such as pregnant women. In response, using reproductive hazards as our primary example, we developed HazardPyMatch, a laboratory hazard screening tool designed to be implemented in laboratories across scientific disciplines to support efficient hazard management. HazardPyMatch is an accessible and user-friendly tool that enables scientists to quickly and easily systematically identify chemical hazards in laboratory chemical inventories and categorize these hazards in laboratory protocols.
