You could use the Texas Tech incident that the CSB investigated.

Hello

I'm currently working on a safety talk about RAMP and decided to include a section on "RAMPing up Reactions"

It was discussed at ACS that scaling up reactions is a under-stated danger in many chemistry laboratories.

 

Does anyone have any suggestion for articles that talks about or quantifies the risks of increasing the yield in chemical reactions?

 

For example: https://ac.els-cdn.com/S1871553213006178/1-s2.0-S1871553213006178-main.pdf?_tid=672cf49d-0170-4ff1-8b06-85bc88bda807&acdnat=1537887055_4baf3ea46cec9ef7b4cb51c2aba76bf8 I found very informative and it would be great to find more sources.

 

Thanks
