Demystify:
Here's my definition of what constitutes a chemical splash hazard:
1. If you know that if you got the chemical in your eye it will harm
you ...
2. If you don't know whether you would be harmed by getting the chemical in
your eye
This was roughly what the policy was at Dow Chemical.
So, it is only not a chemical splash hazard if you know that you would not
be harmed, otherwise ..it is.

While we are on this
topic, my question has always been what constitutes a chemical splash
hazard? Volume (uL, mL, etc), hazard level regardless of volume, volume
regardless of hazard level, transfer procedure, technique, mixing, heating,
experience, etc, etc.
