The Laboratory Safety Standard at 25: Implementation of the Standard through the Chemical Hygiene Plan and the Chemical Hygiene Officer - Is it trickling down?

We present results of a survey of institutional academic and industrial laboratory EHS professionals accessed through the Division of Chemical Health and Safety (DCHAS). We also present the results of a survey about PPE use at a research institution as a test of how to implement lab safety programs on the ground with engaged lab personnel, rather than issuing toothless policies. The survey was carried out among laboratory personnel at a research institution. The surveys are anonymous but the results but include responses from safety personnel in industry and academic research institutions and from researchers in medical research laboratories and employees in clinical laboratories.
