Chris,

 

My colleagues and I have been discussing the same thing. We plan to write a thorough analysis. Suffice to say that we do not agree with some of the methods and recommendations contained within the paper.

 

Sincerely,

I acknowledge that the land on which I live and work is the ancestral and unceded land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. As an uninvited guest on these lands, I am a beneficiary of the ongoing displacement of the Ohlone people. I pay my respects to the Native peoples, past and present.

That acryloyl chloride paper is the first one I’ve seen for the upcoming special issue on sharing incidents. I hope it’s intended to showcase the very beginning of the journey from ”blame to gain” because, after bemoaning the propensity for investigations to blame the victim and fail to identify underlying causes it seems to conclude that the incident occurred because the victim failed to wear their PPE (when none of the indicated PPE seems appropriate for protecting against inhalation of acryloyl chloride, assuming there was even any acryloyl chloride remaining in the reaction mixture when the exposure occurred)…

 

Chris
