Bio:
Courtney Stanion attended Duke as an undergraduate student and began working for Duke in the mid-1990's while
earning her Master of Science in Environmental Engineering at the University of North Carolina in Chapel
Hill. She joined Duke's Occupational and Environmental Safety Office full-time in 1998 and has enjoyed
working with nurses, maintenance employees, horticulturalists, researchers and others to improve employee
safety throughout the University and Health System. In ~2010, she began to focus on chemical hygiene and
general safety in research laboratories. She currently manages the lab safety evaluation and chemical
hygiene programs, reviews most plans for new and renovated lab space, and mentors a small team of Laboratory
Safety Specialists.
Outside the office, Courtney enjoys hiking, paddle-boarding, and reading (two book clubs!) and volunteers on
the finance committee for her local faith community.
