JCHAS Editor's Spotlight: A 4 Way Tie!

The JCHAS Editor‰??s Spotlight for the November / December 2019 issue of the Journal of Chemical Health and Safety is shining on 4 articles, all written by former chairs of the Division!

The first presents an innovative approach to assessing heat stress concerns while wearing personal protective equipment.

Then there is a suite of three articles that describe safety culture development programs in variety of settings (undergraduate instruction, academic research support, and industrial laboratory settings).

In addition, there are articles assessing the impact of safety cultures in several settings and 4 articles on interesting approaches to improving ventilation in chemical settings.

Our thanks to all of the authors and reviewers who put together this issue!

Note: This is the final issue of JCHAS that is published under the Division‰??s contract with Elsevier. Starting in 2020, the Journal will be published by the American Chemical Society‰??s publications division. This will change how members access the journal. Let me know if you have any questions about this change.
