Webinar: Safety Culture in a Laboratory Environment
Safety Culture in a Laboratory Environment
June 24, 2020 • 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
A strong safety culture is essential to develop in laboratories in the minerals, metals, and materials communities and beyond. University and national laboratories, with a flux of students and post-doctoral researchers, are especially challenged to establish an “institutional memory” of safety practice. When safety becomes part of the mindset and discipline of practice in a laboratory environment, it will benefit the early career professionals and students, along with the organizations and industries that they join as their careers advance. It is important for laboratory environments to have already developed a safety culture in the work environment and with the employees already established in the workforce in preparation for newcomers.
