CHEMICAL REACTIVITYHAZARDS, Laboratory Scale,Recognition & ControlPresented by: Neal Langerman, Ph.D.
of Chemical Health
CHAS membersThe Process Safety Alliance, incooperation with U.S. OSHA ispresenting a workshop titledCHEMICAL REACTIVITYHAZARDS: Laboratory ScaleRecognition & Control. The objectiveof the workshop is to provideparticipants with the knowledge andskill to screen processes for potentialhazards, recognize when reactivehazards are present, and implementappropriate controls to reduce the riskof an incident associated with thehazards. Workshop attendees willreview case studies of actual incidentsand do screening examples in order tounderstand the screening andrecognition process. Groupdiscussions of control methods willallow participants to share theirexperiences and to evaluate methodsfor controlling reactivity risks.REGISTER AT: https://secure.hostwizard.org/chemical-safety.com/chas/regform.htmMore information: Contact NealLangerman, Advanced ChemicalSafety (858) 874 5577 [email protected]
Laboratory Waste ManagementMr. Russell Phifer
$375.00 non-members/$325.00CHAS membersThis comprehensive one-day coursewill identify the various regulatoryrequirements that apply to laboratoriesthat generate hazardous waste, as wellas provide insight into the optionsfor on-site management and off-sitedisposal. Focus will include discussionon recycling/reclamation techniques,economical handling of wastes andliability issues. Mr. Phifer has over 25years experience in managinglaboratory wastes for academic andindustrial laboratories and is a memberand former chair of the ACS Task Forceon Environmental Health & Safety.

Take a close look at the ChemicalHygiene Officer position, and prepareat the same time for the ‘‘CHO’’Certification exam to be held the nextday. Kaufman, Phifer, and Wahl give adifferent slant to safety issues in thelaboratory, focusing on what you doand how you can do it better. Thepresenters bring a wide variety ofexperience to the table, but the real starsof the workshop are you – pastattendees note the interactive approachfocusingon their problems, fromgettingadministrators involved in safety todealing with regulatory concerns. Thecourse covers all of the content areas ofthe certification exam (presented onSunday through NRCC), including asample test in the same format as thereal one. Whether you are a newChemical Hygiene Officer or an ‘‘old’’one, you will find something to put toreal use in this fast-paced presentation.You can request an application packetfor the Chemical Hygiene OfficerCertification examination by NationalRegistry of Certified Chemists online atnrcc6.org/
The Laboratory Safety WorkshopDr. James Kaufman or Dr. W.H.(Jack) Breazeale

$325.00 non-members/$275.00CHAS membersThis classic presentation on laboratorysafety by the Laboratory SafetyInstitute (LSI) has been attended bythousands of safety professionals. Withexperience in both industrial andacademic laboratories, Jim and Jackgive a ‘‘real world’’ approach to safetyissues in the laboratory. Their storiesare both interesting and pertinent.Interactive demonstrations help youdeal with everything from creativewiring in the lab to administratorswithout a vision of what it means tohave a safe workplace. This is a highlyentertaining and excellent forum tospeak openly about safety problems inyour workplace.
Using Job Hazard Analysis in theResearch LabSamuella Sigmann
$325.00 non-members/$275.00CHAS membersThe Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is onemethod to consider hazards associatedwith lab research and guide the controlof those hazards. A JHA can assist the
Journal of Chem
researcher in uncovering potentialhazards in synthesis, instrumentalstudies, physical manipulations andmore. Identified hazards can then bemitigated or eliminated. In thisworkshop, participants will learn thebasic principles, required elements,and format of the common JHA.Examples of completed tools such asnitric acid digestion of metal samples,cryogenic work, and HPLC with THF/DCM/Water will be utilized toexamine the technique. Eachparticipant will create a ready to useJHA based on some task specificallyapplicable to their laboratory. Becauseyou will prepare a ready to implementJHA, attendees should come with aspecific idea of a chemical or processthey would to investigate. A laptop ortablet might be useful for thisworkshop if you would like to createyour JHA digitally.
