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.
