- Indicators of Success in Laboratory Safety Cultures and General PapersOver the past decade, there has been increasing interest in improving the safety culture of laboratory settings. How do we identify and implement indicators of success of these efforts? When are quantitative cultural measurements available and when do we need to rely on qualitative indicators of movement forward? Both theoretical ideas and concrete examples of the use of this approach are welcome in this symposium. 3745133 – Indicators of success in a safety culture, Ralph Stuart, CIH, CCHO, Presenter 3733703 – What’s in a name?

Kuespert, CSP, Organizer, Presider Safety is a common theme across most chemical disciplines, but hazards deemed common in one field may be opaque to other researchers. Interdisciplinary research brings with it risks associated with several intersecting disciplines, and researchers trained in one speciality will not necessarily be familiar with all the relevant risks. What hazards are recognized in their research field? What hazard control challenges present themselves? Where are the high risks that have been accepted as “normal?” This symposium draws together representatives of many chemical disciplines to share their safety knowledge and challenges … Read more
