First, the good news: OSTA and the OSDE are finishing preparations for this year’s Oklahoma Science Safety Summit. The bad news? A lack of response to the NSU-BA workshop has forced the cancellation of the July 29th workshop. But the workshop will still take place July 31st on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma.
This workshop provides vital information that each and every school district (and school site) in Oklahoma needs to maintain a safe science laboratory and workplace. School personnel need to know that they are doing all they can to protect students from injury and themselves from liability. So far, most of the registrations to the workshop are from school districts that sent participants to last year’s summit. Does that say anything about the value of the workshop?
Highly competent science programs place emphasis on knowledge of and compliance with workplace safety guidelines. Don’t be left untrained!

July 31 – Howell Hall (science building) on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond.
