The Executive Committee of the Division has asked me to send this
reminder to the Division's e-mail list. It is the most recent update of
the list's WELCOME message and I will be posting it to the list about
monthly as a reminder to list
participants.
DCHAS-L is the e-mail list of
the Division of Chemical Health and Safety of the American Chemical
Society. It is intended to facilitate the conduct of division business
and provide the opportunity for members to make contacts with other
members to share technical
questions.
List membership is for
division members and, on a six month trial basis, non-members interested
in divisional activities. This list is moderated to ensure that
discussions do not stray from its intended purpose, but no technical
review of the material on the list should be inferred from this
editorial process.
As this list is a public
activity of the Division of Chemical Health and Safety, we expect that
list discussions will be conducted in a professional tone. Information
presented on the list is provided by the person writing the e-mail based
solely on the information given in the question they are responding to.
For this reason, e-mail list postings should not be considered
professional advice, but rather helpful hints on issues to consider in
addressing the question.
In this context,
people who responds to a listserv posting should think carefully about
what they write and what the impact might be if their words are taken
out of context. While all are encouraged to have a free exchange of
information, those who participate in these discussions have a
responsibility to consider the impact of their
response.
The list is managed by
Divisional secretary, Ralph Stuart of the University of Vermont <
rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu>. List traffic
can be as high as 5 and 10 messages/day. If you prefer to receive all of
the day's postings in a single e-mail, you can sign up for the DIGEST
format. Contact Ralph for assistance with
this.

Safety!
