Hi Debbie,
University of Chicago would have a daylong crash course in safety for all incoming chemistry graduate students with lectures in the morning and hands on activities (fire extinguisher, spill cleanup, eye wash and safety shower, and one other “station” that I’m drawing a blank on) in the afternoon. Graduate Teaching Assistants then completed an Advanced Training Course detailed in https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.jchemed.5b00578. I helped take over the safety lecture in 2016 and discussed more advanced risk assessments that built on the previous crash course instead of the compressed gas safety that the publication mentions and added a careers in safety lecture.

Debbie,

 

In our department, I teach a five-part series with four of them in the laboratory with hands-on activities. They have materials to look over before they attend each session. It’s not an official class  but part of our required seminar series and grade the first semester of graduate school.

 

Regards,

Tammy

Hi Debbie,

 

I'm a grad student at The Ohio State University. We have a safety class for  graduate students. 

 

You might want to contact the Chemistry and Biochemistry department safety coordinator for more information. She teaches and coordinates the class.

Hi all

 

Who has been able to include a safety course for graduate students at their institution?

 

Required? Hands-on? How much time/units?

 

Thanks
