This classic presentation on laboratory safety by Dr. Kaufman has
been attended by thousands of safety professions. With experience in
both industrial and academic laboratories, Jim gives a "real world"
approach to safety issues in the laboratory. His stories are both
interesting and pertinent. Interactive demonstrations help you deal
with everything from creative wiring in the lab to administrators
without a vision of what it means to have safe workplace. Highly
entertaining, and an excellent forum to speak openly about safety
problems in your workplace.

This comprehensive one-day course will identify the various
regulatory requirements that apply to laboratories that generate
hazardous waste, as well as provide insight into the options for
on-site management and off-site disposal. Focus will include
discussion on recycling/reclamation techniques, economical handling
of wastes, and liability issues. Mr. Phifer has over 25 years
experience in managing laboratory wastes for academic and industrial
laboratories and is a member and former chair of the ACS Task Force
on Environmental Health & Safety.

How To Be A More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer

Ernest Morial Convention Center, Room 398
$292.50 non-members / $249.00 CHAS members
Dr. James Kaufman, Mr. Russell Phifer, Dr. George H.Wahl, Jr.

Take a close look at the Chemical Hygiene Officer position, and
prepare at the same time for the CHP Certification exam to be held
the next day. Kaufman, Phifer and Wahl give a different slant to
safety issues in the laboratory, focusing on what you do and how you
can do it better. The presenters bring a wide variety of experience
to the table, but the real stars of the workshop are you - past
attendees note the interactive approach focusing on their problems,
from getting administrators involved in safety to dealing with
regulatory concerns. The course covers all of the content areas of
the certification exam (presented on Sunday through NRCC), including
a sample test in the same format as the real one. Whether you are a
new Chemical Hygiene Officer or an "old" one, you will find something
to put to real use in this fast-paced presentation.
