We're getting ready for a presentation to our new chemistry department grad students about keeping a safe lab. Over the years, we've developed a strong professional intuition that good laboratory housekeeping improves safety and prevents accidents. However, I'd like to throw some numbers at this scientifically oriented audience to give housekeeping a value beyond motherhood and apple pie. Is anyone familiar with a source of statistics that might apply to this question? I'm sure that definitions of many of the words above are hazy, so going the anecdotal approach is the alternative, but I'd like to try for numbers if possible. Thanks for any help. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-5407
