The “Enhancing Chemical Security and Safety in the Education Sector” seminar, held by Dr. Sanger in Department of Chemistry on May 7, 2025, addressed critical aspects of safe chemical handling, storage protocols, and risk mitigation strategies in academic laboratories, equipping educators and students with essential skills to prevent accidents and ensure responsible chemical management. This initiative aligns with SDG 3 (promoting health and well-being by reducing laboratory hazards), SDG 4 (enhancing quality education through practical safety training), SDG 8 (fostering safe working environments), SDG 9 (supporting sustainable research infrastructure), SDG 12 (ensuring responsible chemical use and waste disposal), and SDG 16 (strengthening security measures to prevent misuse), underscoring the role of education in advancing both safety and sustainability in scientific practices.
