The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) recently completed its first-ever in-depth investigation of an incident at an academic institution. The incident occurred at Texas Tech University but is one of several important incidents, including fatalities at UCLA and Yale, which are focusing more attention on Environmental Health and Safety in academic research labs.
Come watch the CSB’s video regarding their investigation, then discuss laboratory safety at MIT in light of the CSB’s recommendations for enhancing safety performance in academic laboratories.
