Join the Joint Safety Team (JST) of the University of Minnesota (UMN) at our safety workshop for high school teachers! The workshop will be held on August 7-8, 2025 at Smith Hall on the UMN Twin Cities campus. We have prepared a free event to help chemistry teachers identify and manage potential safety issues that may not have been previously assessed, as well as develop a broader perception of safety. Participants will be introduced to the concept of safety culture and learn how to improve it in their workplace.
A series of instructions on waste handling, storage and disposal, safer lecture demonstrations, and other relevant topics will help participants gain more confidence in taking proactive control, while also teaching their students to appreciate proper safety conduct.
Continuing education credit (CEU) hours will be awarded through the University of Minnesota (UMN).
