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.
