SUMMARY:Chemical Hygiene Officer Leadership Academy (July 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Build Safer Labs. Reduce Liability. Lead with Confidence. Presented by Safer STEM and Rutgers University\n  \n\nThe Chemical Hygiene Officer Leadership Academy is a 1-week intensive\, mentorship-based collaborative readiness program for Chemical Hygiene Officers led by science and STEM safety experts and peers who deliver proven frameworks and insights on how to lead\, protect students and staff\, and reduce liability. This program coaches participants on what it means to think and act as a CHO leader. Academy Model: Instructor-led + Self-paced. Duration: Starts Monday\, July 13\, 2026\, and ends Friday\, July 17\, 2026. Meets every day for 1 week at 11 am to 1 pm ET.Intended Audience: Recommended for current Chemical Hygiene Officers and those interested in moving into this role. Instructor: This program is led by an NRCC-credentialed instructor with 20+ years of experience. By attending this Academy\, you will learn: \n\nResponsible chemical management\, including chemical storage\, chemical handling\, chemical disposal\, fire safety\, emergency procedures\, PPE\, ventilation\, safety documentation\, and related safety criteria.\nHow to build a school-wide and district-wide culture of safety awareness based on appropriate (grade and subject-area) safety training on an ongoing basis.\nHazard and risk recognition and mitigation strategies for emergency procedures and proactive planning for safer demonstrations and laboratory activities.\nLab safety rules based on legal safety standards\, including OSHA 1910.1450; 1910.1200; 1910.132; NFPA 101; NFPA 45; ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 D3 2020\, and other accepted professional safety practices involving laboratory use.\nHow to effectively manage a chemical spill\, a fire\, chemical combinations\, waste management (chemical and biological)\, and the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP).\nSafer prevention strategies to reduce potential legal liability under ‘Duty of Care’ obligations\nHow other CHOs have handled various scenarios in their school jurisdictions over time and used them as ‘teachable’ moments to elevate the understanding of staff to prevent a similar accident from occurring in the future.\n\n\nThis is not just another compliance course; it’s a transformational leadership academy that equips you with the frameworks\, case studies\, and tools to lead science safety proactively and professionally. \nEarn Your Certificate\nUpon successful completion of the Academy\, participants will receive an official Certificate of Completion jointly issued by Safer STEM and Rutgers University\, a mark of distinction in safety leadership. \n\n\n\nSeats are limited.
