Friday, August 16, 2024, via Zoom

11am-2:30pm

The American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Chemical Health and Safety provides authoritative technical resources and mentorship in chemical health and safety for all. You can learn more about the division here. 

This 3.5-hour workshop is for frontline researchers in academic institutions: graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate students. It will introduce the principles of the RAMP paradigm (recognize hazards, assess risk, minimize risk, and prepare for emergencies), through a series of case studies and discussion sessions focused on practicing each of the RAMP steps. By the end, attendees will have learned and practiced how to systematically do a risk assessment of both existing protocols as well as for past incidents.

REGISTRATION: The workshop is $25 per attendee and participants will receive a certificate of participation to add to their resume or portfolio upon completion of the workshop. Register here by Friday, August 2, 2024.
