A survey was developed and implemented to determine how pervasively safety principles and cultural expectations are included in the chemistry curriculum at the undergraduate level. The survey was completed by first-year doctoral candidates in the chemical/pharmaceutical sciences. A majority of the respondents were trained in the use of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and PubChem. Additionally, a majority (61%) reported frequent safety discussions prior to performing experiments in their laboratory courses. In contrast, similar discussions occurred infrequently in their research laboratories (16%). Approximately 20% of the surveyed students reported experiencing a laboratory injury, and significantly larger percentages observed near misses in their teaching and research laboratories. However, the survey did not find any correlation between the frequency of safety discussions, chemical resource training, or the delivery mode of training with the likelihood of incidents. The survey did find that a specific training method explicitly intended to preclude mishaps, namely, the RAMP risk management system, is not well integrated into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Finally, the survey contained a series of potentially dangerous laboratory scenarios in order to determine whether the tendency to engage in risky laboratory behavior correlates with specific demographics and/or prior experiences. The data suggest that prior experience with an injury or observation of a near miss encourages the choice of safer options when confronted with a hazardous situation.

本科教育实验室安全培训评估

制定并实施了一项调查，以确定本科生化学课程中如何普遍包含安全原则和文化期望。该调查由化学/制药科学一年级博士生完成。大多数受访者接受过使用安全数据表 (SDS) 和 PubChem 的培训。此外，大多数人 (61%) 表示在实验室课程中进行实验之前经常进行安全讨论。相比之下，类似的讨论在他们的研究实验室中很少发生（16%）。大约 20% 的接受调查的学生表示曾遭受过实验室伤害，并且在教学和研究实验室中观察到险些发生事故的比例明显更高。然而，调查并未发现安全讨论的频率、化学品资源培训或培训的实施方式与事故发生的可能性之间存在任何相关性。调查确实发现，明确旨在防止事故发生的具体培训方法，即RAMP风险管理系统，并没有很好地融入本科生化学课程中。最后，调查包含一系列潜在危险的实验室场景，以确定从事危险实验室行为的倾向是否与特定的人口统计数据和/或先前的经历相关。数据表明，先前的受伤经历或观察到险些发生事故的经历会鼓励人们在面临危险情况时选择更安全的选择。
