Ken Fivizzani, the Chair of the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety and past Chair of DivCHAS published an excellent opinion article (C&EN Nov. 29, 2004, page 33) that I strongly recoomend to everyone on this list. The URL is http://pubs.acs.org/isubscribe/journals/cen/82/i48/html/8248acscomment.html Ken addresses an issue that has irked many of us and really goes to the perception of a safe work environment - corporate photos showing unsafe acts, such as being in a lab or plant w/o eye protection. Ken once again is showing his excellent leadership - and diplomacy - in publishing this comment. I appreciate this fine effort and hope we all can take his wise words and share them with management at each of our facilities. Thank you - Ken -- Neal -------------------------------------------------------------- NEAL LANGERMAN, Ph.D. Chair, Division of Chemical Health and Safety American Chemical Society ADVANCED CHEMICAL SAFETY, Inc. 7563 Convoy Ct, San Diego CA 92111 (858) 874 5577 (858) 874 8239 (FAX) www.chemical-safety.com
