    Dear Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Division Members

    Hope this email finds you well.

    I am reaching out to you as we have received a request from Standards Australia for a representative to sit on their Lab Safety and Design committee. The current rep on the committee is stepping down and needs to be replaced.

    Title: CH-026 Laboratory Safety and Design

    Scope:

    Standardisation of procedures for the safe operation of laboratories, laboratory safety equipment such as fume cupboards, and general laboratory design and construction. Included: procedures for the safe operation of laboratories, including chemical and microbiological safety, ionising and non-ionising radiation, and procedures for the environmentally safe disposal of wastes

    Current Projects:

    AS 2982 Laboratory design and construction (in public comment resolution phase)

    AS/NZS 2243.1 Safety in laboratories, Part 1: Planning and operational aspects (in drafting phase)

    If anyone is interested, please email me directly at james.chapman@griffith.edu.au

    I will then pass these details on to the committee.
