Development and Validation of Biosafety Climate Scale for Biological and Biomedical Science Laboratories in the United States.

Industry-specific safety climate scales that measure safety status have been published, however, nothing specific to biological laboratories has ever been established. This study aimed to develop and validate a biosafety climate (BSCL) scale unique for research professionals (RPs) and biosafety professionals (BPs) at teaching and research biological laboratories affiliated to public universities in the United States. BSCL scale was developed from literature review.
