Module 1
Information from Course Outline
Module 1, Closes Monday, January 21
Introduction; some basic concepts and definitions; a little toxicology.
Introduction
We'll start with some introduction to Blackboard and get you started on that.
Next we will spend some time getting to know each other. In the classroom instructors
take it for granted that folks somehow get to know each other. For on-line classes,
we have to make a special effort at first to communicate and get to know each
other a little. This exercise will also help you get warmed-up in Blackboard.
Then we will overview some fundamental definitions in risk, safety and risk
assessment, including some basic U.S. laws and regulations, and some data on
the realities of chemical hazards. Finally we will look at a slide show that
introduces some basic toxicology concepts. The slides did not reproduce well,
but you will get the idea. Lastly we will review some notions about units used
to describe chemicals and exposures - more definitions. Note, there is a link
to the closure module from the last time I taught this class. You might be interested
in those comments and questions. Later I will update it with your comments and
questions.
