Subject: [DCHAS-L] safety quotes
All,
I am going to present an award to a graduate student w ho intervened following a chemical explosion in a lab and prevented serious bu rns to a colleague by his quick action, and also put out a fire in a fume hood. Do you have any appropriate “safety” quotes I can p ut on a plaque? I’m looking for something more than the common one s – I’ve already searched Google.
Thanks.
Gail
