In recent years, the importance of safety in academic research laboratories has gained considerable attention nationwide. The University of Chicago Joint Research Safety Initiative (JRSI) is a community of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and research assistants in the Department of Chemistry and Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, whose focus is to facilitate a sustainable lab safety culture by providing educational tools, training, and resources that are presented in an organized, clear, and centralized fashion. Our organization was established in Fall 2017 to address the safety needs of our research community with a bottom-up approach. Here, we provide a brief account of how the JRSI designed activities around five themes: (1) Developing Organizational Structure, (2) Evaluating Safety Culture and Organizational Effectiveness, (3) Facilitating Open Dialogues and Collaborations, (4) Defragmenting Safety Efforts and Resources, and (5) Educating Researchers, Teachers, and Safety Contacts. In each of these areas, we discuss programs and highlight lessons learned that can assist in analogous student-led implementation strategies. This Case Study does not provide an exhaustive list of solutions for all safety-related deficiencies; rather, it strives to bring special attention to the general background, core ideas, reflections, and encountered challenges when forming a new researcher-led safety initiative.

从芝加哥大学研究人员领导的安全组织的创建和发展中学到的教训

近年来,安全性在学术研究实验室中的重要性已在全国范围内引起了广泛关注。芝加哥大学联合研究安全倡议(JRSI)由化学系和普利兹克分子工程学院的研究生,博士后研究人员和研究助理组成,旨在通过提供教育工具来促进可持续的实验室安全文化,培训和资源以有组织,清晰和集中的方式呈现。我们的组织成立于2017年秋季,以自下而上的方法来满足研究社区的安全需求。在此,我们简要介绍了JRSI如何围绕五个主题设计活动:(1)建立组织结构,(2)评估安全文化和组织有效性,(3)促进公开对话和合作,(4)整理安全工作和资源,以及(5)教育研究人员,教师和安全联系人。在这些领域中的每一个领域,我们都讨论课程并重点介绍可以帮助学生实施类似的实施策略的经验教训。本案例研究并未提供针对所有与安全相关的缺陷的详尽解决方案列表;相反,它致力于在形成新的由研究人员主导的安全计划时,特别注意总体背景,核心思想,思考和遇到的挑战。我们讨论计划并重点介绍可以帮助学生实施类似的实施策略的经验教训。本案例研究并未提供针对所有与安全相关的缺陷的详尽解决方案列表;相反,它致力于在形成新的由研究人员主导的安全计划时,特别注意总体背景,核心思想,思考和遇到的挑战。我们讨论计划并重点介绍可以帮助学生实施类似的实施策略的经验教训。本案例研究并未提供针对所有与安全相关的缺陷的详尽解决方案列表;相反,它致力于在形成新的由研究人员主导的安全计划时,特别注意总体背景,核心思想,思考和遇到的挑战。
