Second the proposal Chris, can we have a workshop on this at the Summer
Conference in August? or is it too late to include it?

Interesting discussion everyone.
I took Flinn's Online High School Safety Certification course (FREE!) and I
found it very valuable, even as a teacher with 10 years experience at the time.
The course is at
https://labsafety.flinnsci.com/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flabsafety.flinnsci.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C3968538f6f904be4edd908d5bc4fba95%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636621972978614281&sdata=YEAkVQbcMQlSQzCKPUNUBX7UB%2B2IbC%2FKkWlrSteD0YA%3D&reserved=0>.
I do think the place NEACT could be useful was in addressing safety in context
of a standard Chem I curriculum and the labs we all do instead of just the
general rules addressed by Flinn, Lab Safety Institute, etc. NEACT's work
really should be on top of/in addition to a general safety training though.
We should all be pointing teachers to Flinn's course and also advocating for
districts to give PD time to Chemistry teachers to do the course so it's not
only on their own time. I'm totally in favor of NEACT developing something on
top of/in addition to this.
