taught by Jim Kaufman, Lab Safety Institute
Friday, August 17, 8:30 – 4 PM
Description: The Laboratory Safety Institute (LSI) will present a new course at the ACS national meetings. The course meets the needs of scientists, science educators, lab workers and their supervisors wanting to learn more about laboratory safety. “Lab Safety – Beyond the Fundamentals” continues where LSI’s introductory course (The Laboratory Safety Workshop) leaves off and explores new areas in lab safety. There is an emphasis on simple and inexpensive steps to create more effective lab safety programs and grow the culture of lab safety.
There is extensive opportunity for questions both during the workshop with follow-up by phone and email. This includes a one-hour conference call to help with the implementation of course concepts. Course participants are encouraged to submit in advance five questions/topics they wish to be sure are covered in the course: jim@labsafetyinstitute.org. Each participant will receive workshop materials (280-Page, three-ring Lab safety course notebook) and other photocopied resources.
