The pre-planned university

members can bring questions about problems they face daily. This will be an opportunity for CSHEMA members to network and to get ideas on how to solve their problems. CSHEMA members, who are single person offices, are encouraged to bring lists of what they desired to be helped with and the committee will try to provide suggestions. Questions from members will be collected and questions not answered at this session will be discussed. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.471 Small-college nemesis: Decentralized EHS Sandra Perry Triumvirate Environmental, United States Using CSHEMA s Benchmark 2006– 2007 Study as a resource to identify staffing needs of a small but rapidly growing university in Maine, a campus-wide Environmental Health & and Safety (EHS) compliance assessment was performed to identify gaps, deficiencies and liabilities. This presentation focuses on the data & information collected to identify compliance risk as it correlates to staffing needs at this institution and how this system may be used by other small or mid-size colleges. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.472 That 3-lettered word: PCBs in building materials Ross Hartman Triumvirate Environmental, United States Although awareness and concern around PCBs in building materials has significantly increased throughout past years, management approaches for the likely presence of this chemical has remained ambiguous for colleges & universities across the country. This presentation will discuss PCBimpacted building materials, pertinent regulations, types of waste, assessment techniques, risk characterization, mediation/abatement methods, and disposal options. It will include a panel discussion with an EPA TSCAjPCB Coordinator, an environmental expert,

an LSP-certified engineer, and a risk assessor. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.473 The college of the future – How will this impact EHS Suzanne Howard Wellesley College, United States Experts are predicting that colleges and universities will be changing, some of them dramatically, over the next 10– 15 years. Financial and infrastructure issues will have huge impacts on how institutions do business – or not. What type of education and the diverse group of students who will be attending institutions will also impact how institutions do business. This presentation will discuss potential impacts to EHS in the future and if it is possible for us to prepare for these changes. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.474 The EHS professional’s role in ERM Erike Young University of California, Office of the President, United States The best EHS professionals understand risk management, and the best risk managers understand EHS. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is essentially the marriage of the two disciplines as it requires the risk and EHS managers to collaborate in identifying and controlling a broad array of risk exposures in support of the University’s strategic plan and mission. Enterprise risk management can provide this framework through the use of risk assessments and risk-based budgeting tools that consider a broad range of risks. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.475 The FBI’s academic chemical security initiative John Taylor Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States By virtue of their open and collaborative environment, university chemical laboratories present a potential target for individuals seeking to acquire chemical precursors for illicit use. The FBI s Academic Chemical Security Initiative

Journal of Chemical Health & Safety, May/June 2013

is designed to mitigate this threat by educating university faculty, staff, and students to current trends and issues. Outreach materials have been developed to increase awareness and develop alerting processes to identify suspicious activities and alleviate potential threats. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.476 The implementation of a PI lab safety workshop Aisha Lawrence University of South Florida, United States Uncooperative. Unavailable. Irresponsible. As EH&S professionals working in academia, we have used these words to describe our experiences communicating with faculty about safety and compliance in their labs. In 2012, following a decline in the number of PIs attending safety training, the University of South Florida developed a safety workshop that would address the safety role of the PI while recognizing the roles they play as instructors, advisors, and researchers. This session will discuss the collaborative efforts between EH&S and faculty to implement this workshop and the outcomes. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.477 The pre-planned university Lucas Schwaller RealView, LLC, United States ‘‘The Pre-Planned University’’ session will examine both the risks of not following pre-incident plan guidelines/ standards at educational properties and highlight the solutions available for enhancing life safety and mitigating property damage in the event of an incident. With data and case studies compiled by the NFPA and the testimonials of fire/life safety professionals, this presentation will examine what first responders need in order to be effective and how colleges and universities across the country are moving toward paperless, sustainable technology systems for life safety. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2013.03.478
