The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) on Thursday (Oct. 20) released a new safety video on the potential hazards associated with conducting research at chemical laboratories in academic institutions. Called "Experimenting with Danger," the video notes that the CSB has collected preliminary data on 120 explosions, fires, and chemical releases at university laboratories and other research facilities that occurred around the country since 2001, causing deaths, serious injuries, and extensive property damage. CSB's move comes just days after OSHA released lab safety materials.
