I am collecting detailed case study information on laboratory and pilot
plant incidents resulting from uncontrolled chemical reactivity hazards.
For example, a fire caused by the inadvertant contact of water on
Sodium, or
a fire caused by the generation of Silane by mixing a Silicon compound
with
acid.
If you have details of such incidents and phots of the resulting damage
-
and can share them with me - I will certainly appreciate it. I will
protect
the identity of the incident, as appropriate.
This work is NON-COMMERCIAL and is being done on a pro bono basis for
the
OSHA Alliance on Chemical Reactivity. The end product of the project
will
be a workshop on identifying and controlling Chemical Reactivity Hazards
in
the Laboratory and Pilot Plant. The workshop is currently scheduled for
its
first presentation at the August meeting of the ACS in Boston.
Please respond directly to me (neal**At_Symbol_Here**chemical-safety.com) with incident
details.
Thank you.
