Joe,
I am a contributing author to the Online Chemistry Course (OLCC),
"Chemical Safety: Protecting Ourselves and Our Environment",
scheduled to begin in the Fall of 2004. The ACS Division of Chemical
Health and Safety (CHAS) and ACS Division of Chemical Education (CHED)
are sponsoring an online 3 credit intercollegiate course for students
who have taken General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. The course will
be offered during the Fall 2004 semester (or term). No fee is assessed
by the sponsors. The course will be offered at each of the participating
schools with local classes and online activities. Instructors at each
of the participating schools will be actively involved as will their
students. Assignments, examinations, and grading will be handled by each
participating school. Additional informaton on this course, the
presenters, and the course syllabus is available at
http://science.widener.edu/svb/olcc_safety/ (ACCESSED MARCH 2004) Feel
free to contact me if you should have any questions. Best

WORK SAFELY AND TEACH SAFETY

I am in the process of setting up a specific safety course that will
be
required of all of our chemistry lab students. We have a set of
guidelines
in place, and go over them with the students, but have not formalized
the
training into a course with credit.
Some specifics that I'm considering are
-being able to get data from an MSDS
-safety exits
-chemical handling
-reading our hazard system (we use a system built on the NFPA diamond
that
works for our freshmen and sophomores)
-lab protection - goggles. clothing, etc
-lab behavior
-???????
What other topics should/could be covered? Our system of chemical
labeling
is basic, but I think it works. If someone needs a system or would like
to
pick mine apart - let me know and I'll send you the information.
