Mary Ellen - It was actually a total surprise to me!!! I've talked about
this type of class for years with the Chem & Eng depts, & all agreed it
sounded like a good idea but no one was committed to it. Then suddenly,
out of the blue, the Chem Chair stopped me in the hallway (a chance
meeting in a building neither of us work in) to tell me he just came from
the Provost's office & was discussing this course that he needed my help
with!! When I figure out HOW it happened (I think it was sort of like
becoming famous overnite after working at something for 15 years), I'll
let you know. Maybe they got tired of me coming there every week lately
for another grad student accident?

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?

Safety Course!!! I know you're 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-ability of their new hires
directly from academia.
I've been asked to help develop & provide material for the course. They
want it to be an on-line course required 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 accreditation 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 offering or requiring an academic lab safety
course (above & beyond the OSHA & EPA requirements)? If 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 techniques (eg - as suggested by the
recent tubing removal discussion)?
4. Any other advice?
