I am hoping to get this idea through at our Chemistry department for starters also -- any hints on how you actually pushed the idea through?

Our Chemistry Dept. is considering a mandatory 1 credit Master's level Lab Safety Course!!! I know you'r e all as excited about this as I am! Its especially interesting that this came up the same week that a chemical company rep on this list (who we happen to by A LOT of chemicals from!) said that they will reconsider the safety-a bility of their new hires directly from academia.

I've been asked to help develo p & provide material for the course. They want it to be an on-line course requi red for all graduate level Chem majors. I'm looking to all of you for input on what should be included! They envision this course to meet the ACS accre ditation requirements and go beyond my OSHA CHP training. You can post to the list or email me directly. I'll compile & post the final results to this list. Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Is your college/university offe ring or requiring an academic lab safety course (above & beyond the OSHA & EPA requirements)? =A0If yes, how is it delivered (live vs. on line)? How many credits? Can you share your syllabus?


2. What topics do you think should be included?


3. Since this is to be an on-line course, do you know of any videos, etc. that could be used to demonstrate technique s (eg - as suggested by the recent tubing removal discussion)?


4. Any other advice?
