Re: CSIS training for new and long-term staff
If you are a lab assistant in a NSW DEC school, have you seen the current issue of SchoolBiz (through the portal). Under the heading PROGRAM UPDATES, there is an article in relation to a review of the CSIS package inviting employees to participate in a survey. I completed it this morning, it only t...

Re: labeling old chemicals in store
It typically takes nearly an hour to print one label on Chemwatch ....because the NSW DET computer system is so bloody slow , I spend most of the time watching the 'doing something" wheel going round and round , only to find what I'm seaching for is the wrong one , so onto the next one and so o...

Re: cloud chamber
Thanks Sunray18 At my other school I found two of these Silform Diffusion Cloud Chambers in almost usable condition ....but they looked like they haven't been used in years . The radiation sources were nowhere to be seen . One box still had the original 90V battery in it but it was dead flat and som...

Re: labeling old chemicals in store
Did you go bigmack? That was my understanding - to cover up old labels. No superbug I didn't go so perhaps I should not be commenting. You're confident in your understanding of what you heard , and so are others .I can't say who has it right and I don't care about that . But I am now confused . I'm...

Re: labeling old chemicals in store
This sort of thing is quite annoying ....how can a presenter address such a basic concept as covering labels yet it come across so obviously different to people that attend . When is the new CSIS coming out ? It is now the middle of February and we still have no Black and white so go by and the cloc...

Re: cloud chamber

Re: Disposal of animal specimens
Hmmm wounder what they do in the AG plot when they find a dead chicken . .......probably bury it .
I seriously doubt they take it to the local waste station and pay to get ride of it.

Re: Mistory Apparatus
Interesting to hear two of you have them . Its obviously a school apparatus then . I like the idea of a coffee perculator :cheesy: Intersetingly the only google help was that the mob that made them also made anesthetic machines . I had wondered if perhaps it was a crude Chloroform generator . Put al...

It consists of two equal sized copper tanks that each have a stop cock ( Tap ) on them . Between the two tanks is a dividing...

Re: Where to buy liquid nitregon
....have to have the top open so it vents .. To clarify .....the thermos flask has a screw on lid but it has a pressure relief vent. Was told to always have the vent open so it does not build up pressure and explode as the Nitrogen slowly warms inside . You want to get it just before its needed as ...

Re: Mineral and rock safety alert
Thanks Merilyn1 ...That was what I was hoping would be a reasonable way to deal with it . Incidentally , how did you dispose of the suspect kits .....just that we have shelves full of poorly labled rocks that we have know idea what is what .

Re: Mineral and rock safety alert
Just went through our boxes from "geological specimen supplies" Turramarra ...these kits are dated 1986-1990. I could not find any of the mentioned samples from the WHS sheet so can I be confident that these are OK ? I found these guys on the WEB but when I ring the number (02) 9488 8162 t...
