How to Be a More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer (CHO)
July 8 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT
Workshop hosted by Russ Phifer and Jim Kaufman on Wednesday July 8th, 2026 from 1-5 pm ET.
CHAS offers the How to be a more effective Chemical Hygiene Officer workshop to provide participants with a detailed analysis of the CHO position and to prepare for the “CHO” Certification exam. Participants receive a clear perspective on safety issues in the laboratory, focusing on what the CHO does and how to do it better. OSHA, EPA & DOT regulations that impact laboratory operations are included in the discussion.
The workshop covers the content areas of the NRCC certification exam, including a sample test in the same format as the real one. Whether you are a new Chemical Hygiene Officer or an “old” one, you will find something to put to real use in this fast-paced presentation. There is extensive opportunity for questions during the workshop and with follow-up by phone and email.
Trainer: Russ Phifer, WC Environmental and Jim Kaufman, Laboratory Safety Institute
