Looking at the bigger picture: Evaluating responder risk in a tritium spill
Publication date: Available online 8 March 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Harry J. Elston, Daren PerreroWhen evaluating risk, more than just chemical exposure must been considered. This work describes a hazardous materials response involving a radioactive material where material exposure was considered but the exposure was not the primary concern during the response.

Chemistry laboratory safety climate survey (CLASS): A tool for measuring students’ perceptions of safety
This study showed that a safety climate may also emerge in informal groups and that to improve safety conditions in college laboratories, more careful analysis of the safety perceptions of laboratory users other than faculty and staff is required in order to develop targeted safety interventions.

Evaluation of the implementation of occupational health, safety, and environment management systems in higher education laboratories
This study presents an overview of the evaluation of the implementation of the OHSEMS in higher education laboratories. The implementation of the OHSEMS is to prevent occupational accidents in the laboratory. The study design is a semiquantitative descriptive study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the implementation of the OHSEMS in higher education institution laboratories by evaluating the percentages of OHSEMS compliance in higher education laboratories. Five aspects are evaluated: occupational health, safety, and environment (OHSE) policy and commitment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and management review. ...

Impact of a pilot laboratory safety team workshop
Publication date: Available online 15 January 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Kali A. Miller, Kaitlin I. TylerRecurring academic laboratory accidents and a lack of consensus about the best approach to chemical safety culture education has led to the development of laboratory safety team (LST) programs at many research institutions in the United States. LSTs are collaborative groups that seek to improve the safety culture within a department or multiple departments. They usually consist of a partnership between departmental faculty, staff, and students and have the goal of providing concrete oppo...

Promoting safety culture: An overview of collaborative chemical safety information initiatives
Publication date: Available online 14 January 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Carmen I. NitscheSafety culture is a critical component of good science. Various initiatives are underway to support a collaborative culture of safety, including the American Chemistry Council's Safety Performance Initiative, the Pistoia Alliance Chemical Safety Library, the Dow-University Safety Partnerships, and the ExxonMobil Partnerships in Academic Lab Safety (PALS) program. In this paper we will review collaborative community safety resources, consider the continuing challenges and barriers to sharing safety info...

An immediate onsite chlorine leakage disaster management plan
Publication date: Available online 7 January 2019Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Yehya Elsayed, Abdel-Qader Al-Ameri, Taj El-Sir Ahmed, Mohamed Idreese, Sofian KananChlorine is a highly hazardous substance endangering the environment and human. In the past few years, several accidental incidents of chlorine gas leakage were reported around the world. Away from terror attacks and war crimes, these incidences were mainly due to human negligence, ignorance, and illiteracy. A case of chlorine gas leakage is described in this study along with the onsite emergency handling plan. A simple neutralization me...

Bringing Safety to Chemistry for Life
Publication date: Available online 21 December 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Ralph Stuart, Joseph M. PickelIn recent years, the chemistry enterprise as a whole has experienced a monumental shift in the way that it understands and approaches safety, both within society and as part of the science of chemistry. The American Chemical Society (ACS) has embraced this change and has committed to modelling it by incorporating “safety” into its core values. In early 2018, a Safety Summit involving stakeholders from across the chemistry enterprise was convened to consider strategies for “accelerat...
