FYI, there's an interesting C&EN article about lab safety from a researcher in Italy at
https://cen.acs.org/safety/lab-safety/Opinion-learned-lab-accident/100/i22
Opinion: What I learned from my lab accident
Researchers should feel empowered to improve safety culture before accidents happen
"My colleagues and I often perceive any safety-related matter as subtracting precious time from our research'and forget that being able to assess risks associated with substances and procedures is an integral part of our job. The procedure I was performing was clearly hazardous, but no one had ever captured it in a standard operating procedure (SOP) with a dedicated risk assessment. It is hard to say whether an SOP would have helped prevent this accident. But it could have made my colleagues and me more aware of the possible risks and increased our understanding of the experiment and chemistry behind it."
