[DCHAS-L] Safety Consultant Needed - Pacific Northwest
Natalie:
Your colleague at Edmonds may well find an expert to evaluate their program.. The more sustainable and effective solution; however, will be for the instructor to educate themself on the principles of risk assessment and control and then develop or adopt a framework
for how all experiments will be reviewed, and how all hazards will be managed in the course.
Incorporating risk assessment into the curriculum itself is another way of improving safe practices now and in the students' futures.
As an aside, I wish I would have had the opportunity to take a "Chemistry and Art" class!
I hope that the course can continue and that their only accidents will be artistic "happy accidents"!
