For me, the movement many years ago to micro-scale chemistry
was a significant example. This is paralleled today by the
movement to flow chemistry for high-risk reactions.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Grassroots lab safety examples?
In a conversation with a colleague today, I was thinking of
examples of lab situations in which lab workers "naturally"
(i.e. without prompting from EHS offices) developed
alternatives to the use of risky chemicals. Examples I came
up with included the decrease of the routine use of benzene
and Chromerge to wash glassware; and the development of
nitric acid based microwave systems to replace boiling
perchloric acid baths.
I wonder if there are other examples of such natural
transitions that others on DCHAS-L can identify?
Thanks for any help with this.
