Re: [DCHAS-L] Safety awareness
Wow. I thought that was only a problem in the arts where they don't even know their solvents, pigments, dyes, and products are chemicals.
What you need is a few of the graduates from these schools suing their schools for fraud. To grant a degree in chemistry without ensuring that the recipients understand the laws and regulations that apply to their work and how to work safely and legally, clearly does not make them suitable for employment in the chemistry field. That's what I thought the high school teacher who injured the young man with the Rainbow experiment should have done.

In our most recent survey of state departments of education, only eight had a requirement to know anything about safety to become a school science teacher.
In our original survey of ACS local sections, only five of 183 had a safety committee.
