Description Unspecified In summary, we recommend the following actions:1. Appoint crucial Associate Director for Laboratory Programs (and Principal Deputy).2. Address the enthusiasm gap in some senior management.3. Establish an Audit mechanism.In conclusion, the commission has thought about what would be a desirable end-state for safety at NIST. We would wish that the safety culture and program at NIST would be the standard by which all scientific laboratories would measure themselves. Within five years, senior science managers should be visiting NIST to learn about safety the way that scientists now visit NIST to learn about science and engineering
