Highly entertaining, and an excellent forum to speak openly about safety problems in your workplace.

How To Be A More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer

$292.50 non-members / $249.00 CHAS members
Dr. James Kaufman, Mr. Russell Phifer, Dr. George H.Wahl, Jr.
Take a close look at the Chemical Hygiene Officer position, and prepare at the same time for the CHP Certification exam to be held the next day. Kaufman, Phifer and 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 involved in safety to dealing with regulatory concerns. The course covers all of the content areas of the certification exam (presented on Sunday through NRCC), including a sample test in the same format as the real one. Whether you are a new Chemical Hygiene Officer or an "old" one, you will find something to put to real use in this fast-paced presentation.
