Checklists, a common tool in health and safety inspections, have limited potential to change practices and habits between utilizations because implicitly they are finite in terms of conveying priority or providing guidance on how to solve cited issues. In addition, they are vulnerable to variability in the thoroughness of application. In contrast, feedback in the form of unstructured descriptive comments has the potential to magnify existing strengths, which sustain an overall good practice between inspections if the comments include positive citations that are specific and detailed. Without inclusion of both positive feedback and unstructured descriptive comments to the standard, structured checklist, inspectors miss the opportunity to reinforce actions already being performed and the opportunity to build on the foundation of existing skill and knowledge. This case study combines principles of management, evaluation tool design, behavioral psychology, and neurological science to explain the impact the authors observed on safety compliance in conjunction with providing positive feedback in unstructured comments as part of annual inspection reports.}, number={6}, journal={ACS CHEMICAL HEALTH & SAFETY}, author={Box, Melinda and Paye, Ciana and Gallardo-Williams, Maria Teresa}, year={2021}, month={Nov}, pages={397–401} } @article{box_paye_gallardo-williams_2020, title={Creating a Positive, Community-Based Learning Environment in a Chemistry Department}, volume={27}, ISSN={["1878-0504"]}, DOI={10.1021/acs.chas.0c00033}, abstractNote={Recognizing teachable moments and transforming them into occasions of learning can be a useful strategy in developing a culture of safety in an academic department.

Three videos covering different aspects of lab instruction (experimental technique, use of instrumentation, and calculations) were produced using student-generated scripts. A laboratory classroom was outfitted with video cameras and sound recording equipment that allowed the research team to monitor all TA–student and student–student interactions. Six course sections led by three randomly assigned TAs were selected. Two sections from each TA were observed (control and treatment), each at the same time of day, 1 week apart. Students in the control group had their TA conduct the lab briefing and supervise the lab, but were given no access to the instructional videos. The treatment group had videos available to supplement the TA’s lab briefing but was otherwise identical to the control group. Both groups were given a questio...}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL EDUCATION}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Box, Melinda C. and Dunnagan, Cathi L. and Hirsh, Lauren A.
