Strong safety cultures result when leaders within an institution ensure that safety is always considered in everything, including research. Creating and maintaining strong safety cultures requires that faculty and staff promote safety and teach safety through the curriculum. This process builds strong positive attitude and care toward safety as well as a sound knowledge of safety among students. As a result when students begin to conduct research they understand how to recognize hazards and assess the risks of those hazards so that plans can be made to minimize the risks of hazards. This paper discusses how to create safety cultures so hazard analyses become an normal part of the research process.
