I would add that your colleague should contact Monona Rossol, who is the leading expert in this area, for a referral. Her direct contact is actsnyc**At_Symbol_Here**cs.com but she is also on this list and so may respond directly to you. She is stuck in NYC for now, in part because of COVID, but has contacts all over.
The email address letters stands for “Arts, Crafts, and Theater Safety.”

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.
ACS offers many free resources for students and educators: https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education.html
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"!
