The Process Safety Alliance, in cooperation with U.S. OSHA is
presenting a workshop titled CHEMICAL REACTIVITY HAZARDS: Laboratory
Scale Recognition & Control. The objective of the workshop is to
provide participants with the knowledge and skill to screen processes
for potential hazards, recognize when reactive hazards are present,
and implement appropriate controls to reduce the risk of an incident
associated with the hazards. Workshop attendees will review case
studies of actual incidents and do screening examples in order to
understand the screening and recognition process. Group discussions
of control methods will allow participants to share their experiences
and to evaluate methods for controlling reactivity risks.
Date: August 18, 2007
Location: Boston, MA, Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, room to be
announced.
Time: 0830 ñ 1430 (8:30 am ñ 2:30 pm), lunch is not included.
