Summation
• Though presented in a humorous manner, the above
slides are very serious from a health and safety point
of view
• There are some serious and potentially hazardous
conditions demonstrated
• One chemical among some shown above, if
mishandled can result in…

The resulting detonation left a crater in the ground approximately three foot wide by one foot deep !
This could easily have occurred in the lab if
bumped or heated

Good Chemical Handling / Storage
• Check your inventories……
• Get rid of what you do not need
• Manage those containers with bad labels
• Manage waste collection containers with correct
labeling of contents, and keep caps closed when not
adding to them
• Make sure all chemicals have proper labels and are
within expiration dates / known shelf lives
