A serious academic laboratory accident occurred at Texas Tech University in January of 2010. As a result of internal assessment and subsequent investigations by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), we have been working on changing the safety climate at Texas Tech University over the past decade from one of compliance to one where there is active work and thoughtfulness on the part of the administration, faculty, staff, and students to strive for improvement. In this second article of a two-part series we explore the Texas Tech accident from the perspective of the effect that it has had with regard to changing the academic safety culture of the institution. We explore how the accident acted as a galvanizing experience for the transformation of the safety culture at Texas Tech and in other parts of academia, with a look at the current state of laboratory safety at Texas Tech and how that culture functions today. We will do this in a narrative format through the eyes of the faculty, administrators, and investigators who have been principally involved in the cultural development.

德州技术事故十年后。第二部分:德州理工大学的安全文化变化与学术实验室安全的现状

2010年1月,德州理工大学发生了一次严重的学术实验室事故。由于内部评估以及美国化学安全与危害调查委员会(CSB)和美国国土安全部(DHS)进行的后续调查,我们在过去的十年中,德州理工大学致力于改变安全气氛,从遵守法规到在行政,教职员工和学生方面都在积极地工作和考虑周全,以求改进。在这个由两部分组成的系列文章的第二篇文章中,我们将从德克萨斯技术事故对改变该机构的学术安全文化产生的影响的角度出发,对其进行探讨。我们将探讨事故如何在德州理工学院和学术界其他地区转变安全文化的过程中起到启发作用,并探讨德州理工实验室安全的当前状况以及这种文化在今天的作用。我们将以叙事形式在主要参与文化发展的教师,管理人员和调查人员的眼中进行叙述。
