Safety Across the Chemical Disciplines

Marta Gmurczyk

Daniel Kuespert

Safety is a common theme across most chemical disciplines, but hazards deemed common in one field may be opaque to other researchers. Interdisciplinary research brings with it risks associated with several intersecting disciplines, and researchers trained in one speciality will not necessarily be familiar with all the relevant risks. What hazards are recognized in their research field? What hazard control challenges present themselves? Where are the high risks that have been accepted as "normal? " This symposium draws together representatives of many chemical disciplines to share their safety knowledge and challenges

Indicators of Success in Laboratory Safety Cultures

Ralph Stuart

Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in improving the safety culture of laboratory settings. How do we identify and implement indicators of success of these efforts? When are quantitative cultural measurements available and when do we need to rely on qualitative indicators of movement forward? Both theoretical ideas and concrete examples of the use of this approach are welcome in this symposium.

Blazing Trails: Cannabis Chemistry in Post-secondary Education

Brandon Canfield

Formal post-secondary instruction in the area of cannabis chemistry has emerged across North America in recent years, ranging from entire undergraduate programs to individual courses to specific modules within a course. This session is intended to provide early reporting on the development and progress of education in this field, and to foster a discussion on the directions it is heading.
