John

that was an illuminating  comment: have drills on accidents that could happen. Our lab has nothing like pyrophoric reagents,  but as an industrial analysis lab we happen to use frequent volumes of xylenes. Over the 16 years I've been here, we have not had many accidents, especially recently due to peer monitoring, safer methods and site safety culture. However several times, staff have spilled significant amounts of the reagent on themselves.  Each time we had to think a minute what to do.
