The Importance of Language in Safety Communication

The Laboratory Safety Institute's James Kaufman, Ph.D., discusses a case of a high school student who was poisoned by cyanide. In the lawsuit that followed, another student claimed he didn't know what the word "lethal" meant, prompting a discussion of word meaning and safety communication.
