http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i27/Interpreting-Accident-Data.html and http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i18/Importance-Teaching-Safety.html I suggest contacting the authors of that article to inquire about their statistics.
Hi everybody,ok I have been trying to find the original source for the following statement:"...Occupational Safety & Health Administration statistics demonstrate that researchers are 11 times more likely to get hurt in an academic lab than in an industrial lab."I have seen this statement referenced many times in articles. In fact in one of the articles I read it was said to be quote from an interview. Sometimes it is referenced, and then when I track down the reference, it just refers to another article that uses the exact same wording, without a reference. No matter who said it first...where is the research? Where are the statistics? Where is the report? What journal do I find it in?Thanks everybody, just trying to track down the paper, or the OSHA stats or what have you. I want to USE that information in a report I am working on, but I want a real reference to go by.Mel Charlton-SmithNRCC-CHO
