I shared a video on safe pyrophoric handling with the chair of our Chemistry Department Safety Committee for his comments. He found the one we looked at to be of some value, but found some different strengths in others that are available on Youtube as well. The ones in question are: Pyrophoric Liquid Safety Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMXwNBAbxc (UCLA) Handling Pyrophoric Materials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi_ODNJCbqY (Dartmouth) Cannula Transfer of an Organolithium (HD - 2010) http://www.vimeo.com/8031660 (Yale, part of a series of 4 on the topic) Anyway, in the ensuing discussion, I asked him what other chemistry research safety topics he thought could be usefully addressed by a video. His suggestions were: - Hydrogenation reactions (Hydrogen + Pd/C) - Use of corrosive or toxic gasses - High pressure reactions - Use of liquid ammonia - Generation and handling of diazomethane If anyone has suggestions about where to find such videos, I would appreciate any leads. Thanks for any help with this. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu
