On
May 7 – 11, 2012, the Harvard School of Public Health will convene a
laboratory design workshop designed to offer a multidisciplinary
perspective on health, safety, and energy conservation in laboratory
design. The multidisciplinary approach to laboratory design ensures
better understanding of the needs of all team members as well as the
goals and demands of the project itself. Architects, design and
facilities engineers, and occupational health and safety professionals
will be able to ensure that the completed laboratory will be safe, free
of hazards, ergonomically sound, and environmentally friendly.

National Healthy Schools Day April 24
Celebrate and promote healthy, green indoor
school environments for all children and staff. For more than 10 years,
parents, school personnel, advocates and agencies have held National
Healthy Schools Day activities nationwide to highlight the importance of
clean indoor air in schools. Visit the National Healthy Schools Day website to find activity suggestions, tools, and more. Already have an activity planned? Register online.
"School can be a disabling environment for far too many students and teachers. When administrators create or ignore unsafe conditions such as mold, chemical hazards or inadequate ventilation, it is an acute threat and a cumulative disadvantage for students that wastes millions of our education and health care dollars. We can protect children's education and health security by working for "safe child" standards in all activities in and around the school, especially during renovation and maintenance. Parents, educators, health professionals and policy makers owe it to children to eliminate environmental hazards that are a source of preventable illness and disability." Healthy Schools Day 2012, Ellie Goldberg, M.Ed. www.healthy-kids.info

Forty-one people -- ages 7 to 72 -- died.
More than 120 other people were injured.
The tragedy was centered at Marting Arms, a sporting goods store, but immediately damaged surrounding buildings, eventually destroying 15.
Investigators said the incident might have started when a spark of unknown origin ignited natural gas from a leaking pipe. That then set off the gunpowder and ammunition stored in Marting Arms. However, the explosion eliminated all evidence.
