[DCHAS-L] CHO hiring algorithm?

Demystify: 

A colleague writes:
===
I've been asked by a college system comprised of 13 institutions if they should hire a full- or part-time chemical hygiene officer. Do you know what parameter(s) per CHO hour may be the best way to think about it (student enrollment, number of science faculty, chemical inventory, current state of the program, etc.)?

I agreed to send the question to the DCHAS-L for input from people who may have faced this question in their setting.

Any responses would be appreciated.
