Further - flames are very painful. Anyone who has flames on them will be
panicked - student; lab professional; firefighter; bomb disposal tech;
military; civil defense; everyone. Intense pain destroys all ability to
"remain calm".

Rule #1 - Never perform hazardous work alone.
Rule #2 - Always ensure personnel are trained in using emergency
equipment - especially the high flow deluge safety shower. This works
for flames, chemicals and other nasty contamination accidents. Ensure
there is an alarm buzzer that activates when the emergency shower is
triggered.
Rule #3 - Conduct refresher training sessions for all personnel
periodically. Ensure through this audit process that all lab users
(student or professional) are completely familiar with all safety
precautions. Audit personal protective equipment and teach end users to
identify efficiencies. Make the users own their safety!!
Rule #4 - Ensure fire extinguishers are located nearby, are routinely
inspected as functional, tested on a yearly basis and all employees and
students are familiar with their use through regular training sessions.
Make safety part of the curriculum.
Rule #5 - Never forget Rules #1-4.

Just curious... when a person is on fire for the first time in his/her
life, I'm sure the person would be in shock, then screams - all of these
are happening within minutes. Do they have the chance to "calm"
themselves (while engulfed) and "think" that they need to stop, drop,
and roll?
