Though accidents in researchand teaching laboratories are rare, they do occur and recent research suggests that safetyprocedures in academic labs lag behind the standards set by industry.1 The American ChemicalSociety and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers have called for improvements to bemade to the safety cultures of academic institutions.2 Changes to safety cultures require safetyeducation, focused effort, and repetition.
