Laboratory Waste Management Workshop
CHAS Members $325.00 Non-CHAS Members $375.00
August 17, 2007, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Presented by Mr. Russell Phifer
This comprehensive one-day course will identify the various
regulatory requirements that apply to laboratories that generate
hazardous waste and provide insight into the options for on-site
management and off-site disposal. Focus will include discussion on
waste management systems, recycling & reclamation techniques,
economical handling of wastes, and liability issues. We will address
the new proposed RCRA and Academic Laboratory regulations and what
they might mean to your facility! Learn all the tricks that
disposers use to increase their profit and use them to increase your
savings. Mr. Phifer has over 25 years experience in managing
laboratory wastes for academic and industrial laboratories and is a
member and past chair of the ACS Task Force on Environmental Health &
Safety.
Laboratory Safety Workshop
CHAS Members $325.00 Non-CHAS Members $375.00
August 17, 2007, 8:30AM - 4:00PM
Presented by Jim Kaufman / Jack Breazeale, Laboratory Safety Institute
An intensive one-day seminar covering the fundamentals of lab safety
and effective lab safety programs. The workshop covers scope of the
problem, accidents, legal aspects, emergency planning, chemical
handling, chemical storage, biological and animal hazards, eye and
face protection, chemical disposal, electrical safety, and safety
program planning. This seminar is intended for industrial,
government, medical, and post secondary academic institutions.
How To Be A More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer
CHAS Members $325.00 Non-CHAS Members $375.00
August 18, 2007 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Presented by Dr. James Kaufman, Mr. Russell Phifer, Dr. George Wahl, Jr.
Take a close look at the Chemical Hygiene Officer position, and
prepare at the same time for the NRCC -CHO Certification exam to be
held the next day. Kaufman, Phifer and Wahl give a different slant to
safety issues in the laboratory, focusing on what you do and how you
can do it better. The presenters bring a wide variety of experience
to the table, but the real stars of the workshop are you ñ past
attendees note the interactive approach focusing on their problems,
from getting administrators involve in safety to dealing with
regulatory concerns. The course covers all of the content areas of
the certification exam, including a sample test in the same format as
the real one. Whether you are a new Chemical Hygiene Officer or an
ìoldî one, you will find something to put to real use in this fast-
paced presentation.
CHEMICAL REACTIVITY HAZARDS, Laboratory Scale, Recognition & Control
Special Price: $50.00 for all attendees
August 18, 2007 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Presented by: Neal Langerman, Ph.D.
Chemical reactivity hazards contribute to a significant number of
serious incidents in laboratories. This workshop will provide
participants with the knowledge and skill to screen processes for
potential hazards, recognize when reactive hazards are present, and
implement appropriate controls to reduce the risk of an incident
associated with run-away chemical reactions. Workshop attendees will
review case studies of actual incidents and do screening examples in
order to understand the screening and recognition process. Group
discussions of control methods will allow participants to share their
experiences and to evaluate methods for controlling reactivity
risks. This workshop is offered as part of the Chemical Reactivity
Hazards Management Alliance.
