Ralph, I would be glad to offer whatever insight I can provide on an
independent safety organization as that has been my experience with
ExxonMobil. I have some experience with the other approaches since.
Unfortunately, the vast bulk of my time has been in industry and not
academia so it may be less relevant and useful to you. Let me know if I can
assist.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Organizing for lab safety programs

I am helping to develop a fall CHAS workshop on building safety cultures in
labs and one topic we would like to cover is ways of organizing groups to
support proactive safety cultures in the academic lab setting.

At broad level, the three approachs we are considering discussing are:
- Traditional safety committees (at all of the various scales that they
arise - department, college, institutional);
- Laboratory Safety Teams (active groups of lab workers who focus on
safety); and
- Embedded safety professionals (departmental staff whose job assignments
include a significant portion of safety responsibilities)

I would be interested in people who have experience with one or another of
these approaches to lab safety culture as to what are the top three pros and
cons of each approach. This is still a rapidly evolving field with many
different variations, so I would appreciate as diverse a set of replies as
possible in thinking about what to highlight in the workshop.

Thanks for sharing any thoughts on this.

- Ralph
