The Effective Laboratory

8th May 2012

S-Lab is an initiative with a purpose to create more effective laboratories arising from the financial, customer, user, regulatory and other pressures they are susceptible to. It originated with support from the four UK HE funding bodies and has its centre of gravity in universities but increasingly has commercial and public sector involvement. S-Lab outputs include assessment tools, benchmarking, best practice dissemination, networking and other activities. All of these emphasise the synergies between safety, business success and sustainability rather than compartmentalising and/or seeing them as competing with each other.

S-Lab have organised The Effective Laboratory, June 12-13, which is a Conference displaying all aspects of laboratory design, operation and use, and provides great opportunities for networking and knowledge transfer.

The S-Lab Awards scheme recognises excellence in laboratory design, operation and management in all sectors, and in laboratory-based teaching and learning innovation within educational institutions, that creates improved performance whilst enhancing safety and sustainability.
