Report Recommends Ways to Keep University Labs Safe

Several major associations issued a new report Monday designed to help universities ensure that their research labs and other academic environments operate safely. The report, “A Guide to Implementing a Safety Culture in Our Universities,” was produced by a special panel created by the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, in response to a series of accidents in laboratories and other research sites. The report, to which the Association of American Universities and other groups also contributed, offers recommendations for campus administrators and faculty members.
