The document outlines the ACS Committee on Professional Training's (CPT) guidelines for safety education in undergraduate chemistry programs. It discusses (1) safety considerations in the ACS guidelines, including adequate facilities, resources, and training students in safe practices; (2) how CPT assesses safety through infrastructure reviews and program self-reports; and (3) the challenges CPT faces in an advisory/consultative role without investigative or enforcement powers.
These slides are based on the notes provided by the K V Sangathan. For the revision of thermodynamics the notes are pretty awseome. I f only want submit the home work they will do so.I am sure they will help.

The start of a new school year is upon us. Do you have everything in place to ensure the safety of students and faculty? What grade would you give your EH&S program as it stands now? View this presentation to find out what you need to do to make sure your program passes the test this fall.
Training consistently ranks high on lists of most frequently cited violations. There are a variety of regulations that EH&S and lab professionals need to comply with. This presentation will help you understand which of your employees need which training and how much is necessary.

This course "Good Laboratory Practices" will guide the students through the basics of good lab practices, ensuring safety and risk management, delve deeper into quality control and assurance, and finally explore the implementation of these practices in specialized areas like clinical, diagnostic, and research labs. The syllabus will provide a deep understanding of laboratory standard operating procedures, quality improvement cycles, the role of proficiency testing, and the ethical considerations involved in lab practices. Through a series of case studies, students will also be exposed to practical, real-world scenarios where they can apply their theoretical knowledge.

3. Challenges Faced by CPT in Encouraging Safety
Education
Self-Reporting, Investigation, Enforcement
3. 0. Committee on Professional Training
The primary mission of CPT is to promote excellence in
postsecondary chemistry education through
•Administering an approval program
658 schools are currently approved; 14,577 undergraduate chemistry
graduates in 2008-09; 35% were awarded an ACS-certified degree
•Conducting surveys about educational practices
Annual chemistry graduates; Regular surveys on enrollment &
graduate education; Special surveys and reports on libraries, minority
participation; DGR, ...
•Interacting with ACS and other professional groups with
mutual interests
SOCED, CHED, CHAS, CCS, Disciplinary Divisions,...
4. 1. Safety in the New ACS Guidelines
2. Institutional Environment
2.3 Program Budget
An approved undergraduate program in chemistry requires continuing
and stable financial support. Adequate support enables a program to
have ... a physical plant that meets modern safety standards with
adequate waste-handling and disposal facilities
4. Infrastructure
4.1 Physical Plant
Laboratories should be suitable for instruction in the chemical sciences
and must meet applicable government regulations. Properly functioning
fume hoods, safety showers, eyewashes, first aid kits, and fire
extinguishers must be readily available. Construction or renovation of
laboratory facilities must conform to the regulations of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and national norms.
5. Safety in the New ACS Guidelines
4.5 Chemical Safety Resources
The program must be conducted in a safe environment that includes
• adherence to federal and state regulations regarding hazardous
waste management and laboratory safety including, but not limited to,
development of a written chemical hygiene plan and maintenance of
proper facilities and personnel for chemical waste disposal,
• safety information and reference materials, such as material safety
data sheets (MSDS), and
• personal protective equipment readily available to all students and
faculty.
6. Undergraduate Research
The research project should ... promote awareness of advanced safety
practices... A student using research to meet the ACS certification
requirements must prepare a well-written, comprehensive, and well-
documented research report including safety considerations.
6. Safety in the New ACS Guidelines
7. Development of Student Skills
7.3 Laboratory Safety Skills
Approved programs should promote a safety-conscious culture in
which students understand the concepts of safe laboratory practices
and how to apply them. Programs should train students in the aspects
of modern chemical safety appropriate to their educational level and
scientific needs. A high degree of safety awareness should begin
during the first laboratory course, and both classroom and laboratory
discussions must stress safe practices. Students should understand
responsible disposal techniques, understand and comply with safety
regulations, understand and use material safety data sheets (MSDS),
recognize and minimize potential chemical and physical hazards in the
laboratory, and know how to handle laboratory emergencies effectively.
7. Safety and Safety Education Supplement
Promoting safety awareness
Demonstrated by always taking safe actions and developing a
positive attitude toward safety
Safety awareness programs and reminders help promote a safety
culture and encourage students to work safely
Student participation in safety committees, risk assessment, and
development of safe procedures
Major safety topics that a student should understand
Hazard identification
Minimize exposure and reduce risks
Hazard and risk information
Safety procedures and processes
8. 2. Assessing Safety and Safety Education
Infrastructure
Are the following laboratory faculties adequate for your instructional
program:
Safety Showers Y N Hoods Y N
Eye Washes Y N Ventilation Y N
Fire Extinguishers Y N
If marked no for any item above, please explain
Lab Safety Practices
Does your department/university have established safety rules?
Does your department/university have emergency reporting
procedures?
Does your department have a chemical hygiene plan?
Are there adequate facilities and arrangements for disposal of
chemical waste?
9. Assessing Safety and Safety Education
Lab Safety Practices (con’t)
Are safety information and reference materials (e.g., MSDS) readily
available to all students and faculty?
Is personal protective equipment available and used by all students
and faculty?
Is personal protective equipment available and used by all students
and faculty?
If no is checked for any of the above, please explain.
Student Skills
Describe how your program conveys safe lab practices to students
10. 3. Challenges Faced by CPT in
Encouraging Safety Education
ACS approval model is based on self-reporting
Departments regularly complete a report form that includes questions
on all components of the ACS Guidelines for approval
Departments self-report on safety infrastructure, practices, and
education
CPT is not an investigative or enforcement agency
CPT comments and acts on periodic reports
Approval actions are communicated to Department Chair and
College/University Chief Administrative Officer
Student skills
CPT does not prescribe curriculum or specific modes of implementation
11. Promoting Safety Education
ACS Guidelines and Safety Supplement
Safety guidelines and safety education supplement
Periodic Reports and Program Approval
Departments regularly complete a report form that includes questions
on all components of the ACS Guidelines for approval
Surveys
