Could we as a group somehow encourage the ACS president to speak out on this? Who would be the appropriate person to draft this request and send it? It seems to be an important issue to our division, and the SC of CHED, to make sure this information goes out in a timely manner.

Maybe that could prompt a Congressional Hearing on it.

Perhaps the Educational Programming Committee should take the lead on this?

While training is helpful the real need is getting the information about the hazard to the teachers and administrators. Apparently some instructors don't know there is a problem.

My suggestion is for the ACS and teacher organizations to jointly contact local and national news media to have a segment on the dangers of some of these demonstrations and how to perform them safely. That should get parent and school administrators attention. This would make a nice PBS Frontline or 60 Minutes segment.

The Chemical Safety Board makes outstanding videos and excellent reports but their reach appears limited.

This continues to beg for training for demonstrators...

Two are in serious condition (presumably with burns). No chemistry details yet. I think we all have a good guess at what was involved based on unfortunate past experiences, but let's sit tight until there is confirmation.
