OHIO Total Science Safety System

OTSSS Advisory Committee
Representing Agencies
(Alphabetical Order)

The Law Firm of Perantinides and Nolan, Akron Ohio in dedication to Calais Weber and Cecilia Chen and their families, whose courage in facing adversity did not spoil their dreams, funded this project. The project became a reality because these two brave young women had a purpose in life beyond themselves. They believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. They believe that an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to fix the problem.

It is our collective hope and wish that in some small measure the development of these tools, and training programs, will help science education professionals identify and address safety issues in academic science laboratories, and related settings.
