WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT

 

The Division of Chemical Health and Safety of the American Chemical 
Society
in cooperation with the Process Safety Alliance of U.S. OSHA is 
presenting a
workshop titled CHEMICAL REACTIVITY HAZARDS: Laboratory Scale 
Recognition &
Control.  The objective of the workshop is to 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 the hazards.  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.

 

Date:                April 5, 2008

Location:          New Orleans, Convention Center, room to be announced.

Time:                0830 - 1600 (8:30 am - 4:00 pm), lunch is not 
included.
