As you may be aware, there is significant national interest evolving in the U.S. with regard to the "safety culture" of academic laboratories. One example of this is the recent National Academic of Sciences meeting on this subject described on the C&EN Safety Zone blog (see http://cenblog.org/the-safety-zone/2010/11/the-national-research-councils- safety-summit/ ) Unfortunately, the information associated with this question is primarily based on anecdotal review of specific incidents. To better understand DCHAS members' broader experience in participating in the safety culture of their organizations, we would appreciate your responses to a short survey (12 questions) found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dchas_culture_survey Please respond to this survey by December 22. A summary of the responses will be provided to the DCHAS-L e-mail list in January. Thanks for your interest in Chemical Health and Safety. - 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
