The University of California Center for Laboratory Safety created a survey to measure the safety culture in academic research laboratories. Surveys were then conducted at several major research universities to benchmark the safety culture on the campuses. Aggregated data were used to identify factors influencing the safety culture for academic researchers in general. The data were analyzed not only by single topics, but also by correlating between topics to establish important connections between them. Hence, we were able to measure directly the impact of faculty engagement and leadership on laboratory safety behaviors of researchers. These and other results will be presented during this presentation.<br/>
