Effective Laboratory ventilation is crucial for the control of
inhalation exposures to hazardous chemicals in a research setting.
However, ventilation is only effective when designed and used
appropriately. The purpose of this workshop is to provide the
laboratory professional with sufficient information to evaluate their
current system and use it effectively. This presentation is developed
specifically for researchers and laboratory professionals. It will be
valuable to anyone who wishes to maximize the effectiveness of their
current system or participate in the design, construction or
renovation of new systems.

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
involve in safety to dealing with regulatory concerns. The course
covers all of the content areas of the certification exam, including
a sample test in the same format as the real one. Whether you are a
