We have SO MUCH work to do. So frustrating.

 

On my video screen, an ad appeared alongside: "Find a Lawsuit Lawyer." So appropriate!

Your comment made me go look for that and along the way I found this gem of safety malfeasance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vyboVwyzfU

No rules but search google for a video of a lab student accidentally setting fire to one of her nails with a Bunsen burner and shaking the burning blobs of plastic all over the place.  I've seen it several times, but don't have a link.   Might help in your PR.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Question for teaching and research university labs

Good afternoon.  

I have had inquiries about this from several of our teaching faculty as of late and after proposing it to the chemical hygiene committee on campus today, it was suggested that we reach out to larger universities to see how they handle these concerns. 

We have noticed an increase in the number of students with very, very long (often acrylic) fingernails.  This is a concern for many reasons in a lab, but particularly in regard to gloves.

Does anyone have a procedure or lab safety rules addressing this?

 

Thank you,

 

Shannon
