Safety Committee Update

• Safety Committee was started in to

1. Understand the current liability posture 2. Identify areas of concern 3. Mitigate risks with standardized review process 4. Communicate safety policy and procedures to members, collaborators, public 1. ACS Midland Section is incorporated, limited personal liability of

• members. National ACS maintains a comprehensive business

insurance policy providing $1,000,000 in general liability coverage. 2. Midland ACS could likely be held responsible at a co-sponsored event where other participants are not adhering to ACS minimum safety standards. It was determined that the ACS standards should be provided at such an event.

Safety Committee Update

• Current status

– Chemical inventory and MSDS files need to be updated – Experimental reviews are incomplete

• Needs

– Volunteers to evaluate experimental write-ups using the standard review form
