I
urge all of you with experience in science education to work to achieve this
objective. I
am sure that a Task Force can be assembled under either CCS or CHAS to
direct this. Thank
you all for continuing this discussion and I look forward to the
progress Nea; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard

Discussion List [mailto:dchas-l**At_Symbol_Here**MED.CORNELL.EDU] On Behalf Of Secretary, ACS Division of
Chemical Health and Safety Re; My efforts in
NC I am a former high school chemistry teacher.
Upon retirement, I retrained in safety and now I specialize in providing
safety seminars for K-12 schools. In the summer, I have a 3 1/2 day science
safety seminar that is for training chemical hygiene officers for K-12
schools. Sunday, I was preparing my presentation for a
private school very near Beacon School; I ran across a slide that had the
date of the Calais Weber incident along with the formula for methanol on a
white board. I talked to a news reporter from Ohio the day after the
incident for about an hr. Yes, I have talked about this incident in every
seminar I have given since it
happened. Today, I have reached out to the NC Dept of
Instruction-Science Section, NCSTA, and other science education leaders to
try to set up statewide safety sessions as a result of this reoccurring
incident. This would be cost free to teachers and perhaps as many as 6
regional presentations to get more teachers to come. We will see what
happens. Additionally, I will be emailing all school superintendents, every
LEA contact, every attendee that I have taught in my Summer Science Safety
Seminars since 2004 informing them of this latest among many methanol
incidents. Linda
