Stuart Sent: Monday, June 09, 2014 9:42 AM To: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**MED.CORNELL.EDU Subject: [DCHAS-L] C&EN article: Chemistry Professors Promote Lab Safety DCHAS people with access to C&EN on line are likely to be interested in the article at http://cen.acs.org/articles/92/i23/Chemistry-Professors-Promote-Lab-Safety.html The lead paragraphs: When it comes to training students and postdoctoral researchers to work safely in academic laboratories, it is hard to overemphasize the importance of the head of the lab-the principal investigator (PI). "The PI sets the tone for how a lab is going to act and operate," says Dominick J. Casadonte Jr., a chemistry professor at Texas Tech University. "If the PI is very safety conscious and has safety as a priority, then students and professionals in the lab will also have it as a high priority." .... - Ralph Ralph Stuart CIH Chemical Hygiene Officer Department of Environmental Health and Safety Cornell University rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**cornell.edu
