It is worth noting that this topic is the subject of the special discussio n period at Council in Denver.  The discussion is open for any to atten d though only Councilors can participate.   

Since many academics are Councilors, there should be some good contribution s, though I expect the discussion to highlight the large difference in appro aches by academic and industrial scientists attention/concern/training on sa fety and an instinctive safety culture before even crossing the lab threshol d.
