CHEMICAL REACTIVITY HAZARDS, Laboratory Scale,
Recognition & Control
Presented by: Neal Langerman, Ph.D.
The Process Safety Alliance, in cooperation with U.S. OSHA is
presenting a workshop titled CHEMICAL REACTIVITY HAZARDS: Laboratory
Scale Recognition & Control. The objective of the workshop
is to provide participants with the knowledge and skill to screen
processes for potential hazards, recognize when reactive hazards
are present, and implement appropriate controls to reduce the risk
of an incident associated with the hazards. Workshop attendees
will review case studies of actual incidents and do screening examples
in order to understand the screening and recognition process. Group
discussions of control methods will allow participants to share
their experiences and to evaluate methods for controlling reactivity
risks.
Date: August 18, 2007
Location: Boston, MA, Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, room to be
announced.
Time: 0830 – 1430 (8:30 am – 2:30 pm), lunch is not
included.

The Laboratory Safety Workshop
$375.00 non-members/ $325.00 CHAS
members
Dr. James Kaufman or Dr. W.H. (Jack) Breazeale
This classic presentation on
laboratory safety by the Laboratory Safety Institute (LSI) has been
attended by thousands of safety professions. With experience in both
industrial and academic laboratories, Jim and Jack give a "real
world" approach to safety issues in the laboratory. Their stories
are both interesting and pertinent. Interactive demonstrations help
you deal with everything from creative wiring in the lab to
administrators without a vision of what it means to have safe
workplace. Highly entertaining, and an excellent forum to speak
openly about safety problems in your workplace.
Laboratory Waste Management
$375.00 non-members/ $325.00 CHAS
members
Mr. Russell Phifer
This comprehensive one-day course
will identify the various regulatory requirements that apply to
laboratories that generate hazardous waste, as well as provide
insight into the options for on-site management and off-site
disposal. Focus will include discussion on recycling/reclamation
techniques, economical handling of wastes, and liability issues. Mr.
Phifer has over 25 years experience in managing laboratory wastes
for academic and industrial laboratories and is a member and former
chair of the ACS Task Force on Environmental Health & Safety.
How To Be A More
Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer
$375.00 non-members/
$325.00 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 "CHO"
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. You can request an application packet for the Chemical
Hygiene Officer certification examination by National Registry of
Certified Chemists online at
