ACS Essentials of Lab Safety for General Chemistry is a 2-hour on-demand course that exposes students to general concepts in chemical safety before they perform experiments in the laboratory. Using the RAMP framework, an acronym for the four principles of safety (recognize, assess, minimize, prepare), the course introduces the concepts of risk assessment, good laboratory practices, and personal responsibility for safety. Establish consistent lab safety standards across student population.
