The purpose of this course is to offer education on chemical safety concepts for undergraduate students. The course is organized around the R.A.M.P. chemical safety concept – Recognize hazards, Assess the risks from the hazards, Minimize and manage the risks, and Prepare for the unexpected and emergencies.
The intended outcomes of this course are to encourage students to adopt a risk-based lab safety culture and to improve chemical safety awareness.
This course is designed for an undergraduate student with at least two semesters of general chemistry with lab and one semester of organic chemistry with lab. Advanced enrichments are provided as extensions for more mature learners but these will not be assessed.
