Mr. Russell Phifer
This comprehensive half-day course will identify the various regulatory requirements that apply to laboratories that generate hazardous waste, as well as provide insight into the options for on-site management and off-site disposal. Focus will include discussion on recycling/reclamation techniques, economical handling of wastes, and liability issues. Mr. Phifer has over 25 years experience in managing laboratory wastes for academic and industrial laboratories and is a member and former chair of the ACS Task Force on Environmental Health & Safety.
Friday, May 15, 2009 - 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM $325.00
Dr. James Kaufman, Mr. Russell Phifer, Dr. George H. Wahl, Jr.
Take a close look at the Chemical Hygiene Officer position, and prepare at the same time for the "CHO" Certification exam. Kaufman, Phifer and Wahl give a different slant to safety issues in the laboratory, focusing on what you do and how you can do it better. The presenters bring a wide variety of experience to the table, but the real stars of the workshop are you - past attendees note the interactive approach focusing on their problems, from getting administrators involved in safety to dealing with regulatory concerns.
The course covers all of the content areas of the certification exam (presented at various times through the National Registry of Certified Chemists), including a sample test in the same format as the real one. Whether you are a new Chemical Hygiene Officer or an "old" one, you will find something to put to real use in this fast-paced presentation. You can request an application packet for the Chemical Hygiene Officer certification examination by National Registry of Certified Chemists online at http://www.nrcc6.org
The certification examination for Chemical Hygiene Officers will be administered by the National Registry of Certified Chemists (NRCC) at GLRM. Advance registration and completion (with approval) of application must be done prior to April 15. Requests for applications should be made to nrcc6@aol.com or through www.nrcc6.org. Application fee: $150, examination fee: $175. Note that the exam will be given on the morning after the "How to be a More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer" workshop.
