Free Student Safety Training 

The Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society is sponsoring two, free, one-day lab safety training seminars for undergraduates and graduate students.

The first was presented Saturday January 16th at Simmons College in Boston and the second at at Boston College on February 13th.  The next one is scheduled for Wednesday March 17th at U. Mass Boston.

The seminar, training materials, refreshments, and lunch will be provided without charge. Registration/Check-in is at 8:30AM with the seminar lasting until about 4PM.

Please encourage students to attend. This is a students only seminar.

After a pilot program at five institutions confirmed the effectiveness of single, large dose safety training programs for students (in addition to regular pre-lab briefings), LSI has been offering these one-day student seminars at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Pilot sites included WPI, Marine Biology Laboratory, Duquesne/Carnegie Mellon, Villanova, and University of Nevada-Reno.

Other participating institutions include University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and Framingham State College.
