Taking the lab safety course through LSI was an eye-opening experience. It made me aware of so many aspects of lab safety that I had never even considered. I love how structured the course was, the literature that was provided, and allowed me to implement many new rules and changes at my community college. This institute literally changed my career. After being trained I helped to write a student laboratory safety manual for my college as well as served on the committee that revised the biosafety laboratory safety guidelines through the American Society for Microbiology. None of this would have happened without you!”

I loved how interactive it was between the students and Jim, and especially the specific advice Jim gave us for “action ideas” to improve CHP and safety programs in our labs. I thought the course was great & I truly feel like I learned so much.

When I left research science and ventured into the college environment to become the chemical hygiene officer, I took the class in Natick on laboratory safety and it was a gamechanger for me. I continued on to the CHO course before taking my exam and that too was critical in my safety education. In large part to those two courses, we have made large strides in fostering a positive safety culture here at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Very informative and a good pace. Great that webinar is an option otherwise I would not be able to attend. —Dan Hammersley, Lab Safety Officer, Minnesota Department of Public Health

Oozing with knowledge, entertaining and with good sense of humor. They have the patience to really check and comment on the answers in the quizzes.

About five years ago, I attended your course. At the time, our school didn’t have a lab safety program except a few incomplete safety procedures here and there. From attending your course, I started to develop the lab safety manual including a chemical hygiene plan . . . it did take five years to build. All started from your course. Thank you!
