Every laboratory researcher must continuously address a key question: What makes the laboratory safe and how can safety outcomes be improved? Laboratory safety is a clear and common goal whether one is a researcher, supervisor, principal investigator or EH&S professional, but the approaches vary. This presentation will examine actions by researchers that improve safety and reduce accidents in laboratories. Recent cases of laboratory accidents in universities will be discussed in the context of ten principles of safe research that can serve as a guide for planning safer experiments.
