SUMMARY:Building an Integrated Safety Approach in Your Chemistry Department
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars\nJune 11\, 11:00 am-Noon\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\nSafety in the lab shouldn’t be a one-day lecture or a checklist\, it should be how students think and work as scientists. \nJoin Daniel Jacques of SUNY Brockport for a practical\, classroom-tested approach to embedding safety across the undergraduate chemistry experience. This webinar repositions safety as an active learning process\, not a standalone requirement. Using the free Laboratory Safety for Chemistry Students (LSCS) e-Textbook\, you’ll see how students can learn to recognize hazards\, assess risk\, and make informed decisions in real time. Grounded in authentic academic lab settings\, this webinar goes beyond theory to offer strategies you can implement immediately. Discover how to create alignment across courses\, student roles\, and time so that safety is reinforced consistently. Following this discussion\, you will understand how a safety mindset becomes intrinsic to student practice of chemistry when exposure to safety is reinforced rather than fragmented. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Rachel Lee Bocwinski of the American Chemical Society and co-produced with the ACS Office of Safety Programs. As part of ACS’s ongoing celebration of our 150th anniversary\, this month we reaffirm our commitment to safety by elevating lab protocols\, chemical risk awareness\, and environmental health standards. \n“What You Will Learn”\n– Practical ways to use the LSCS e-Textbook and the RAMP® framework to build student independence\, confidence\, and critical thinking \n– Insight into where safety instruction breaks down across courses and roles\, and how to create a cohesive\, reinforced approach \n– Actionable entry points to embed safety into your existing curriculum\, leveraging TAs and student roles even within real institutional constraints
