I remember, even by my second year in Chem labs, I was always wondering to myself why the TA and profs had to reiterate about safety precautions (PPE, no exposed skin etc) before big labs, I always felt like the point shouldâve been understood by that time
But without fail, there was always at least one, if not 3-4 people that would show up in flip flops/ shorts, forget goggles and gloves etc

One thing to really note, even seemingly safe and simple labs can get dangerous if people fuck around. I still remember the large scale emergency response to the "Hauptschule" next to my elementary school here in Germany during my childhood. I later in life looked up what actually happened, and some of the pupils there took some random chemicles during chemie class and mixed them together for shits and giggles to see what happened. Idiots brewed up litteral flammable poison gass, and blew up the lab while poisoning themseves and a few others. So always do things with proper procedure and maybe keep an eye on what others are doing around you. I have heared multiple stories from people working with chemicals, in which it was others endangering everyone in the lab because they did not follow proper procedure and fucked around. So keep an eye out when working with others in the same lab.

There's a famous series of articles from back on the old web called, "Things I don't Work With", by Derek Lowe. Wherein he describes the horrors of journals describing things such as FOOF, Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane or Chlorine azide.
People had to work with these, someone ordered them to do it, and they suffered. And sometimes, you'd get things like carbon tetrachloride; which made it into consumer products that you or I could have been exposed to because someone didn't think that in-home halon was bad enough. I suggest you read though these, as they're a harrowing ride though many obscure and purposefully so chemicals.

Good Video, I am a chemistry professor in Wisconsin and i always try to teach my student and scholars about safety and they never listen! after last year's incident (A 16 year old kid accidently swallowed Sulfuric Acid and was rushed to the hospital!) the school principal was trying to find a educational video about LAB SAFETY to show to all the students and then we found this video! almost all of the students knew who you are and loved your channel so they listened to you and it worked! Thank you for this great video.
P.S: THE KID IS OKAY!

Chemistry is dangerous, thatâs why I watch you do the dangerous stuff and still gain the benefits of entertainment
