Be sure to have a learning unit on proper use and set up of chemical fume
hoods! Another important topic is chemical inventory control; this is not
as important to students, during their training, but very important when
they graduate and do research or teach others.

I've been asked to help develo
p &
provide material for the course. They want it to be an on-line course requi
red
for all graduate level Chem majors. I'm looking to all of you for input
on what should be included! They envision this course to meet the ACS accre
ditation
requirements and go beyond my OSHA CHP training. You can post to the list
or email me directly. I'll compile & post the final results to this
list. Thanks in advance for your help.
1. Is your college/university offe
ring
or requiring an academic lab safety course (above & beyond the OSHA
& EPA requirements)? =A0If yes, how is it delivered (live vs. on
line)? How many credits? Can you share your syllabus?
2. What topics do you think should
be
included?
3. Since this is to be an on-line
course,
do you know of any videos, etc. that could be used to demonstrate technique
s
(eg - as suggested by the recent tubing removal discussion)?
4. Any other advice?
