Dwayne,

 

I'm pleased to see this happening with organic solvents being a major exposure concern in college laboratory classes.  Before I forward this to some chemistry instructors in my area I wanted to see if this was open to non-ACS members.

 

Thanks!

 

See you in San Diego.

 

Randy

CHAS Chat: Navigating Organic Solvent Use in Laboratories

 

The Division of Chemical Health & Safety (CHAS) Two-Year College (2YC) Community of Practice invites all interested in chemical health and safety at two-year colleges and similar institutions to participate in our quarterly CHAS Chats.

Our next session, Navigating Organic Solvent Use in Laboratories, will be held on Thursday, February 20, 2025, from 4:00-5:00 PM EDT. The 2YCC Community of Practice Chair, Dwayne Henry, will lead this interactive discussion. Topics include:

 

• Overview of current environmental regulations.
• Resources for substituting organic solvents.
• Risk assessment techniques for handling common organic solvents.
• Discussion of health hazards related to solvent use.

Participation is open and free to everyone—you do not need to be affiliated with a two-year college or the 2YCC Community to join.

 

Register: Navigating Organic Solvent Use in Laboratories - Eventbrite

A Zoom link will be provided to all registrants during the week of the event.
