The Safe Conduct of Research
Brookhaven Lab fosters a safe working environment and is known for its operational excellence. The Safe Conduct of Research (SCoR) was produced through a collaborative effort between Brookhaven and other Battelle-affiliated laboratories and is focused on our mission, our methods, our culture, and our needs.
The SCoR principles
- Everyone is personally responsible for ensuring safe operations.
- Leaders value the safety legacy they create in their discipline.
- Staff raise safety concerns because trust permeates the organization.
- Cutting-edge science requires cutting-edge safety.
- A questioning attitude is cultivated.
- Learning never stops.
- Hazards are identified and evaluated for every task, every time.
- A healthy respect is maintained for what can go wrong.
