2008 UCL CLA Ca Case

  • PARADIGM SHIFT: Completely reframed university expectations and concerns

regarding campus safety

  • FOR THE FIRST TIME: Both faculty member and a university held accountability

under criminal legal proceedings

  • CRIMINAL CHARGES: Charges of criminal liability in Sheri Sangji’s death
  • SETTLEMENT: Agreement reached with Professor Harran after 4 years of criminal

court proceedings, charges to be dropped if settlement terms met

  • REPUTATIONAL IMPACT: Both to Professor Harran and to UCLA
  • COSTS: In excess of $9M paid out by university
  • CIVIL CHARGES: Possible civil charges?
  • SANGJI FAMILY ADVOCACY: ACS meeting in Boston, Fall 2015

Reported La Laboratory ry Safety In Incidents at t UCLA

 About 100 reported lab accidents per year at UCLA from roughly 10,000 postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff in research labs.

  • (About 7 from Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry)

 17% of lab accidents at UCLA over eight years were Chemical Exposures  35% of the Chemical Exposures were “splash to body”

  • Do lab coats provide adequate protection?

What is it we want a lab coat to do.

  • 1. Comfortable material to wear
  • 2. Breathable
  • 3. Flame resistant
  • 4. Non-porous for liquids
  • 5. Non-wicking for liquids
  • 6. Chemically resistant

But, more than 100 years after the invention

  • f lab coats, they FAIL criteria 4, 5 and 6!

CONCL

Im Improvements

  • Lab coats made from Milliken ShieldTEC have the comfort and

breathability of cotton coats.

  • They have flame resistance due to the core Nomex fiber.
  • They are non-wicking and non-porous for polar liquids such as aqueous

solutions and organic solvents such as ethanol, DMF, and DMSO.

  • They exhibit remarkable chemical resistance due to a proprietary fabric

treatment that also enables the non-wicking and non-porous properties.

Implementation Guide

20 recommendations for a safety culture drawn from top resources Tools and resources for implementation (+ values, roles, responsibilities resources).

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Su Suggested Core In Institutional Values

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Good science is safe science.

Safety training & education is critical to research and education.

Safety culture is necessary to implement true risk reduction. Diversity and flexibility of approaches and methods.
