Target Audience: 3 yr undergraduates +
 Laboratory scavenger hunt
– to identify and prioritise 5 most serious hazards in teaching lab
- to note staged assembly hazards – distillation, over-night form, vacuum line set-up
 Simple MCQ self-test – how much do I know now ?
 Real Life accidents – e.g. methylmercury contact, fumehood explosions, fire extinguishers
 MSDS sheets - completion, storage and access
 Invited Speaker
 Prize-giving for teams scavenger hunt
Future development as modular content to postgraduate course
On-line assessment of workshop through webCT
