Joe,

See my resource page at www.dancrowl.com.  Click on the downloads tab
and then click on the lab safety course words.

This material is designed for a 4 week grad. student course, but you
might find something else of value.  I have a detailed course syllabus,
Powerpoint presentations, Word templates, and other things at this site.

Regards,

Dan Crowl
