Lab Safety,Inc. does a good course, but it costs $$. I remember the cost as
being fairly reasonable, but it was over $100. They can tailor their work to
college, high school, etc.
We could also get really good resources for high school lab safety, make it
understandable for people that don't have much of a chemistry background, and
make it readily available.

Lets design a lab safety course specifically for HS Chemistry educators.
High school resources are very different from the ones available at the
college level.

Yes, George,
But some teachers don't know of the existence of these resources.
And they may not have the time nor inclination to work on this stuff
before using it in class.

There is a substantial literature available for teachers. For example,
University of Wisconsin Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri (born 1939) has given
more than a thousand chemical demonstrations to students and their teachers
(including eight Christmas lectures, in the spirit of Michael Faraday, on
Wisconsin Public Television). Shakhashiri throughout his career has been an
advocate for safe and pedagogically effective classroom chemistry
demonstrations, and has published several handbooks of chemical
demonstrations for teachers: Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, Chemical Demonstrations:
A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press;
vol. 1, 1983; vol. 2, 1985; vol. 3, 1989; vol. 4, 1992; vol. 5, 2011).
