Lab inspection benefits:
•
Laboratory safety inspections enhance overall laboratory safety and
awareness
•
Improves connectivity and relations between safety and labs/department
•
Reduces communication gaps between safety and researchers
•
Aids to know about the chemical process and safety mechanism
•
Provides mechanism to improve the LSCHPs and SOPs for chemical
manipulations.
Good luck.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Laboratory Safety Inspections
All,
Trying to do a little benchmarking; could you please share with me:
1.)
Does your Institution do laboratory safety inspections?
2.)
What areas are covered (general safety, chemical safety, biosafety, etc)?
3.)
How often?
4.)
How did you justify the need for these inspections to leadership?
Thanks much!
