High school science labs are more dynamic and more hazardous than ever. Today’s educators need more than good intentions; they need formal training to manage risk, protect students, and meet OSHA and NSTA-aligned safety standards.

The Chemical Hygiene Officer Leadership Training, co-developed by Safer STEM and Rutgers University, delivers exactly that. This instructor-led online course equips you with the tools and knowledge to lead with authority. While essential for current and aspiring Chemical Hygiene Officers, this Academy is equally valuable for Directors of Facilities, Principals and Administrators, Science Supervisors and Educators, and Environmental Hygiene Officers. You’ll explore proven frameworks, practical strategies, and real‑world case studies that directly apply to your school or district’s safety practices, whether you manage labs, oversee facilities, or develop safety policies. By understanding the CHO’s role in depth, you’ll be able to coordinate effectively, close safety gaps, and foster a proactive safety culture.
