CHEMICAL REACTIVITY HAZARDS, Laboratory Scale, Recognition & Control Saturday, April 5, 2008 $50.00 for all attendees Dr. Neal Langerman, Ph.D. 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.

(Jack) Breazeale This classic presentation on laboratory safety by the Laboratory Safety Institute (LSI) has been attended by thousands of safety professions. With experience in both industrial and academic laboratories, Jim and Jack give a "real world" approach to safety issues in the laboratory. Their stories are both interesting and pertinent. Interactive demonstrations help you deal with everything from creative wiring in the lab to administrators without a vision of what it means to have safe workplace. Highly entertaining, and an excellent forum to speak openly about safety problems in your workplace. Laboratory Waste Management 2008 Friday, April 4, 2008 $375.00 non-members/ $325.00 CHAS members Mr. Russell Phifer This comprehensive one-day course will identify the various regulatory requirements that apply to laboratories that generate hazardous waste, as well as provide insight into the options for on-site management and off-site disposal.

Kaufman, Phifer and Wahl give a different slant to safety issues in the laboratory, focusing on what you do and how you can do it better. The presenters bring a wide variety of experience to the table, but the real stars of the workshop are you - past attendees note the interactive approach focusing on their problems, from getting administrators involved in safety to dealing with regulatory concerns. The course covers all of the content areas of the certification exam (presented on Sunday through NRCC), 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.
