Buck Rogers surely couldn’t have seen this one coming, but at NASA’s request, University of Florida researchers have figured out how to turn human waste -- yes, that kind -- into rocket fuel.

Operational exercises are absolutely essential to good emergency planning and the participation of senior executives is critical. However, it is important to include senior executives not just as observers.

Problem: An emergency spill response plan is part of every laboratory safety protocol. However, despite all the best precautions, accidents can happen! Laboratories often house chemicals such as acids, bases, solvents and flammables—all of which can be toxic to human health and the environment if used incorrectly or spilled.

Developing and implementing effective occupational health and safety compliance is accomplished through needs assessments, hazard analysis, monitoring, training, and through analysis of accident and incident history. Join our interactive discussion as our health and safety expert explains some of the details of developing an effective and compliant health & safety training program.

Fear of loss, combined with positive or negative incentives, influences performance.
