You are invited to attend the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) Peer-Led Workshop “Empowering Academic Researchers to Strengthen Safety Culture” on Sunday, March 16, 2025 from 2:00—5:30 PM EST via Zoom. This workshop discusses the challenges of students making the transition to being independent researchers in academia. Topics discussed include: risk assessment of research projects, understanding the often confusing safety hierarchies of academic institutions, and graduate student-led Laboratory Safety Teams (LSTs). Faculty and safety staff are also encouraged to attend in order to expand their understanding of these challenges and seek ways to become better Champions for these researchers. Interested parties must register for this highly-interactive workshop by Friday, March 14, 2025 on EventBrite. The registration cost is $25.00.
This workshop is brought to you by CHAS, a vibrant, active community of nearly 1,700 volunteers dedicated to providing authoritative technical resources and mentorship to individuals in varying stages of their education and career.
