Re: [DCHAS-L] Beacon HS student burned in botched chemistry experiment awarded nearly $60M
As I pointed out in a previous email, i offered free expert witness to students who wanted to sue their schools for faud since they are granting degrees to students who don't know the safety rules, and have never even seen their work done safety because the school itself didn't have the proper equipment, ventilation, space and so on. And three students have had tuition refunded.
Those initials after their name should mean something.

Monona,
I completely agree, NO ONE should graduate without knowing the physical principles related to fire- OSHA and so on! It should be a serious course!
I still think we also need to change the culture and make safety and important and integral part of all science education. We need to get the message out to those
that are already in their positions and help them recognize their hazards and take proper precautions.
Best,
Christina

Safety should not be in the hands of individual teachers, however wonderful some of them may be, to incorporate into lessons bit by bit as their individual experience
and temperament dictate.
Safety is a profession and a discipline all by its damn self. There needs to be a required course in which all of the basic principles and regulatory issues are
taught. No one should graduate without knowing the physical principles related to fire, explosion, basic toxicology, how to read an SDS and a proper label, the applicable OSHA regulations, and so on.
And no 1 credit survey course either. It needs to be tough, organized, detailed, and specific to the hazards and equipment used in the type of chemistry the student
is pursuing.
