In Harm’s Way
Proper protective equipment can increase lab worker safety
In 1994, a young man was working in a laboratory in Maryland, using a rotary evaporator. The 25-year-old technician knew he was working with a reactive material, so he placed a shield between himself and the equipment, but he didn’t actually don any protective equipment. When he pushed the shield to the side to remove the flask, the contents exploded, sending glass fragments into his throat. He died, leaving behind a wife and an eight-month-old child.
