Case Study

Context: This job aid was made for adults working in an academic research lab. 

Challenge: During their most recent safety evaluation, this lab received warnings related to general lab safety. Though all of the members of the lab are familiar with lab safety rules, they do not always remember to follow them when they are engrossed in an experiment. 

Solution: This visual can be displayed in the  displayed in the main working areas of the laboratory for a quick reminder. It could also be displayed near the entrance of the lab to be easily seen. 

Result: The intended outcome is for scientists working in the lab to recall lab safety protocol and more easily implement it in their daily work to increase their compliance with lab safety expectations. This can be measured by a decrease in citations from future inspections.
