The Cost of Poor Lab Safety

This webinar explores the often-overlooked costs of poor laboratory safety. While injuries, exposures, and citations are easy to measure, the hidden costs—including burnout, turnover, culture erosion, and patient impact—can be even more damaging.

Dan Scungio and Jason Nagy will examine the root causes of poor safety practices and share practical strategies for improving engagement, accountability, leadership involvement, and safety culture. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to reduce risk, strengthen operations, and create safer laboratories for staff and patients.

Objectives:

• Identify the various types of costs of poor laboratory safety practices.

• Relate the cost of poor safety buy-in to culture erosion, increased turnover, and negative patient outcomes.

• Develop strategies to strengthen safety culture, improve compliance, and to invest in proactive lab safety initiatives.
