Risk Management in the Research Lab

We are holding the next ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety Workshop “RAMP in the Research Lab” on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 3 PM to 6:30 PM EDT via Zoom. This 3.5-hour workshop is for frontline researchers in academic institutions: graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate students. It will introduce the principles of the RAMP paradigm (recognize hazards, assess risk, minimize risk, and prepare for emergencies), through a series of case studies and discussion sessions focused on practicing each of the RAMP steps. By the end, attendees will have learned and practiced how to systematically do a risk assessment of both existing protocols as well as for past incidents. Register by February 28, 2026.
