Mark Your Calendars!
On April 18, 2012 , Dan Olsen, CHMM, and Patrick Dussault, Ph.D, will share their expertise on “Safe Handling: Unstable, Reactive & Energetic Chemicals." Be SURE to attend if your laboratory uses chemicals such as: azides, picric acid, nitrocellulose, peroxide-formers (e.g. ethyl ether, THF, styrene), metal hydrides, low-molecular weight alkynes, reactive organometallics, or any other energetic materials.
There will be two sessions, one on each campus, for your convenience. Select which session location and time you can attend and mark your calendar. Pre-registration is not required.
Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), in partnership with the Office of Research & Economic Development, sponsors a Laboratory Safety Colloquium twice yearly in spring and fall semesters.
