The National Research Council of the National Academies developed graphic
(posters) educational tools to supplement their new book Promoting Chemical
Safety and Security in Developing Countries. The book and educational tools
address basic chemical safety protocols and measures to protect students and
workers. The book is translated into several Asian, African, Russian, and
European languages. Contact National Academies Press to order these. I
participated in the committee who researched and wrote the book. Good luck
to you!

The Chemistry Department and EHS at Boston College train every graduate stu
dent initially and annually to call Campus Safety in the event of an emerge
ncy. There are signs at every phone. There is even a question on the quiz t
hat they have to take to get their keys.
At the moment we are still collecting information and don't have a caus
e for the explosion or a reason that the student acted as she did. =A0We se
em to have had our share of learning opportunities in the past 18 months, a
nd I will share our hypotheses and/or conclusions on this one when we have
been able to fully research the matter. =A0I hate to think I have enough ma
terial for an article in JCHAS, but it's beginning to look that way.
In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas about sources of pictograms to hel
p communicate certain things to students for whom English is the second lan
guage, we'd appreciate the information.
