Is your institution ready when a guest educator walks in the door?
Science shows. STEM nights. Museum demos. Visiting industry speakers. Outreach clubs.
Outside presenters bring excitement — and hazards — into your space every day. But do you have a written process to manage them?
Since 1988, more than 164 students and teachers have been injured in educational demonstrations using flammable solvents. In February 2024, a single outside presenter's dry ice experiment sent 19 people to the hospital — including 18 third-graders.
Guest educators aren't a niche concern. They're a gap in most safety programs.
In our upcoming webinar, the Laboratory Safety Institute walks through:
Documented incidents involving outside presenters — and what went wrong
Core risk patterns from ACS and NSTA guidance
What a defensible guest educator policy actually needs to include
How to clarify roles across EHS, program managers, and the presenter themselves
You'll leave with a practical framework — and we'll build part of it together, live.
