The Lab Risk Score formula works like this:
1. A + (B*C) + D + E + F + G + H + I + J + K = V
2. M + N + O = W
3. V * (1+W) = X
4. X * L = Y
5. X + Y = Z
Z = Lab Risk Score
A = Hazardous Chemical Inventory
B = Radioactive Material
C = Radiation Safety Inspection Frequency
D = Controlled Substances
E = Infectious Materials
F = EHS Lab Safety Inspection Results
G = EHS Lab Safety Inspection Repeat Violations
H = Emergency Shower Availability
I = Ventilated and Sprinkled Gas Cylinder Cabinet Availability
J = Eyewash Availability
K = Eyewash Tested
L = Fire Life Safety Rating
M = College Safety Program
N = Departmental Safety Program
O = Lab Safety Program
Inspection Frequency Ranges
Monthly = 141 and higherQuarterly = 79 – 50
Semiannually = 49 – 28
Annually = 27 – 7
Biennially = 6 and lower
Example
1. A (68) + [B (0) * C (0) = 0] + D (0) + E (0) + F (5) + G
(10) + H (-10) + I (0) + J (0) + K (-10) = V (63)
2. M (-0.025) + N (-0.025) + O (-.10) = W (-0.05)
3. V (63) * [1+W (-0.05)] = X (59.85)
4. X (59.85) * L (0.05) = Y (2.99)
5. X (59.85) + Y (2.99) = Z (62.84)
Lab Risk Score = 62.84
Inspection Frequency = Quarterly
