Subject: [DCHAS-L] Tracking down LSTs
Hi All,
I am a graduate student at the University of Connecticut and have recently changed my thesis topic to safety research. As one of my projects, I have been working with Kali Miller to compile a history and list of graduate student laboratory safety teams (LSTs). LSTs are graduate student-led groups that work collaboratively with faculty, staff, EHS personnel, and others to strengthen academic laboratory safety culture in their departments. Below is the list that we currently have. We are working through a few different ways to make sure that we have accounted for all groups that have started throughout the US up to this point. Is anyone on this listserv aware of any other universities with graduate student-led safety teams?
University of Connecticut Joint Safety Team
University of Minnesota Joint Safety Team
Yale University Joint Safety Team
The Ohio State University Joint Safety Team
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Joint Safety Team
Northwestern University Research Student Safety Initiative
University of Chicago Joint Research Safety Initiative
University of California, Irvine
University of California, Los Angeles (just starting)
University of Texas at Austin Chemistry Student Safety Organization (just starting)
Texas A&M Chemistry Student Safety Committee (just starting)
Thank you for your help!
Best,
