Over 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?
