We’d all like to be in San Francisco in August for workshops, technical sessions, and socializing, but the pandemic has interfered with everyone’s plans. As a result, with CHAS going fully virtual for the San Francisco meeting, the pre-meeting Professional Development Workshops will also be presented online, in a fully interactive setting. Since travel is not an issue, we’ve spread the workshops out over four days, from the Tuesday before the scheduled meeting, until that Friday – August 11-14.

Here is the schedule:

Courses will start at 11AM EDT (8AM PDT) except for the Lab Safety Workshop, which will begin at 10AM EDT.

Tuesday, August 11 –

• Laboratory Safety Workshop, Beyond the Basics
• Why it went wrong: Blame-free investigation of lab-scale incidents

Wednesday, August 12 –

• Safety Leadership in the Chemistry Enterprise
• Reactive Chemical Management for Laboratories & Pilot Plants

Thursday, August 13 –

• Laboratory Waste Management 2020
• Health & Safety Training for Cannabis Businesses

Friday, August 14 –

• How to be a More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer

The registration page is here: https:​//dchas.org/2020/05/30/workshop-registration-page-2020/ . Invoices will be sent electronically after courses are confirmed. Five registrants are the minimum required for all workshops.

All course materials will be delivered electronically prior to the sessions. Please let me know if you have any questions, and we hope you’ll join us by the virtual Golden Gate Bridge!
