Hi Craig,
By the way, it was nice meeting you at the AIC meeting in St. Paul.
The Virginia Conservation Association had a "Toxic Waste Night" a couple of
years ago. It was a great occasion - you can really have refreshments with a
theme (Toxic Cocktails?).
We had two speakers. One gentleman was from a Hazardous Materials Disposal
Company. Another gentleman was from the state office of Hazardous Waste
Complianace. If just the safety issues scare you just wait till you hear
about the Federal and State compliance regulations, even for small generators
of waste such as one-person conservation shops! (Do you have your EPA ID
number?)
It would be well worth your while to add something of this nature to your
workshop in addition to Monona Rossol's excellent background in safety in the
arts.
Best of Luck!
Dave
