When you find an immediate danger to life and health (IDLH) hazard. An example is when you discover crystallized peroxide forming chemical in the lab. Another example is when no PPE found inside the lab and workers are working with strong acids or bases.

What conditions, circumstances, or safety and health issues do you consider to be sufficient to warrant locking a PI (and research group) out of his or her lab(s) either temporarily or permanently?
