Abstract:
Instructional and research labs in concrete materials and structural behavior present the same safety hazards as a typical construction site. The responsibility to keep students safe in the lab brings a tremendous opportunity. Not only can educators protect their students on campus—they can also prepare those same students for the realities of safety management and hazard identification and prevention in their post-academic careers.
