The laboratory safety team (LST) movement was triggered in 2012 by Dow Chemical’s exploration of ways to strengthen academic research safety culture from the bottom up. This necessitated a new form of leadership from graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. This movement has been spreading throughout chemistry and engineering academic research departments in the United States in a grassroots fashion. However, few publications exist providing the details of LST structure and activities. In this paper, we share results from interviews with 16 currently active teams and outline a best practices guide for starting and sustaining LST programs. Interviews yielded five common components that have been identified as useful to establishing an LST as well as six top common challenges. Strategies to overcome these challenges through proper documentation of activities, maximizing relationships within the academic hierarchy, and developing meaningful safety culture metrics to track are discussed. This paper showcases the power of connecting players in the various active LSTs and emphasizes the need for quantifiable and trackable metrics in the next wave of the movement.

启动和维持实验室安全团队(LST)

陶氏化学自下而上地探索加强学术研究安全文化的方式,从而引发了实验室安全团队(LST)运动。这需要由研究生和博士后学者进行新的领导。这项运动已经以草根的方式传播到了美国的化学和工程学术研究部门。但是,很少有出版物提供LST结构和活动的详细信息。在本文中,我们分享了对16个现役团队的访谈结果,并概述了启动和维持LST计划的最佳实践指南。访谈产生了五个对确定LST有用的常见组成部分,以及六个最常见的挑战。讨论了通过适当地记录活动,在学术层次结构中最大化关系以及开发有意义的安全文化指标进行跟踪来克服这些挑战的策略。本文展示了在各种活跃的LST中联系玩家的力量,并强调了下一波运动中对可量化和可追踪指标的需求。
