Purpose Educate and “Train” lab personnel Augment supervision in the research community Instill accountability for safety with laboratory personnel Build safety advocacy among all participants
Change Behavior --- Change Culture
Preliminary Results
Ongoing Audits
Annual visits in high risk areas / areas in need of improvement
Every 2 years in other areas
Data are being shared with safety committees
