Funnily enough, a lot of safety procedures are just common sense, but of course things like being careful with uses gloves can be a bit tricky if you're not careful or not used to taking gloves off and on

Whether it is a hospital or a chemistry lab, you can't lick the floor

PPE DPI OR EPI are a standard in every job in every country

honestly I wish more industries shared more concern for material safety. I work for one of the largest shipping companies in the world, yet hardly any attention is given to proper hazmat training. Its pretty unsettling to learn that you have a dangerous hazmat on a truck only when people start getting burned through cloths, and then to find out that we didn't even have the MSDS for the chemical on file.

Me and my colleagues were taught that working with gloves was not necessary and borderline dangerous, maybe because most times we were in the chemistry lab we had 400mL of fuming nitric acid very close

Im so sorry for your loss. Now he sees how beautiful his family that he created. ❤️

I know what you are talking about and that woman died in 1997. At the time they thought those gloves worked for organic mercury and her accident revolutionized PPE around organic mercury specifically, but extensive testing across the board was also done due to that incident as well. She was wearing 3 sets of gloves and also did take them off immediately, but the chemical still made it through. The specific type she was exposed to was lipid soluble (fat soluble) and got stuck in fat cells in her hand. As those cells broke down normally she got microdoses floating in her blood. Over time these micro-doses brought the mercury to her brain and CNS and caused progressive neuro degeneration until she died roughly a year after the accident. She was a world famous researching covering heavy metals and their effects on humans and when she figured out what was happening and that she was likely going to die she called her colleagues from around the world and told them to use her as a case study. As a result her death, while horrible and slow, is one of the best documented case studies ever made about chemical toxicity since the discovery of the extensive human testing documentation at the end of WW2. She went deaf, blind, lost faculties and reasoning over time, and eventually could not even walk or speak at all. Eventually she entered a vegetative like state, but it was noted that sometimes she made expressions and noises that sounded like she was trying to scream. Eventually the nuero degeneration was too severe and she died as a result of acute mercury poisoning. This was even after months of treatment with a medicine that allowed helped the kidneys pull mercury out of the blood. A large consensus as to why she still died is that the medicine is not effective at removing mercury that is already bound to fat cells and the CNS is almost entirely composed out of fats. ChubbyEmu has a narrated TLDR'd version of the case study and story if you are interested.

Her name was Dr. Karen Wetterhahn, a professor of chemisty at Dartmouth college. She was exposed to dimethlymercury in August 1996 and died from the exposure in June of 1997.

Chubbyemu did the video about this case.

I have seen a video where 2 Russians were handling chromium trioxide and bromine and even 97% sulfuric acid without gloves.

The cell had a tiny vent hole in the top plastic ring, which appeared to be the only weak point. I hammered an awl into it, and pressurized liquid squirted out. I was lucky that it missed me entirely.

Ugh I needed to go to a store the other day and the cashiers had started wearing gloves... and that was it. They weren't changing them between customers, and were still touching everything they normally would, and thus were only possibly barely protecting themselves *if* they remembered not to touch their faces or clothes until they safely take the gloves off. It just seemed borderline pointless given the risk of it adding a false sense of security, because I know it would be impractical to change gloves every single time they check out a new customer. They might as well just wash their hands or figure out a hand free way. That said I treat all my grocery bags as dirty, and sanitized everything I bought myself too.

You could inject and rubber the hand with calcium gluconate to prevent an accute intoxication. Fluoric acid is not very strong, but fluor will bound to yours cations in blood, causing nerves transmitting problems that could lead to cardiac arrest. So when working with it always use a teflon recipient and make sure to have a strong alkalin solution like NaOH to get it neutralised.

@@filipilic2451 what the fuck really

Yeah, overcofidence is extreamly dangerous. I might not work with chemicals, but I worked as a lathe operator in the small run, large piece manufactroing where we produced large to very large elements for various specialty industries. I have worked on a the massive casings for a chip production line for Nasa, the turbine shafts for chinese waterpower plants, u-boat parts like massive titanium hatches and a lot of other very cool and special stuff. And one thing is always important. A lot of conectration and to never get too comfortable. Some of the lathes I worked with had the size of a small house, with a horizontal chuck the size of a carussel on a fair, or a working space thats 2 metres deep and 12 long. And those machines I had to climb and walk in to set up, replace tools, repair and controll the workpieces. I the only way to actually move stuff around was one or even two ceeling cranes, and weights of less then 100 kilogram were a rarety with machine parts and work pieces if it wasnt bolts. Most of the time stuff was in a ton range of weight. And depending on it multi ton work pieces would rotate at hundreds of revolutions per minute, with speeds a raching car would drive and tool pressures applied to the side that was in the multi ton range to. If you did your job right, it was pretty safe. But woe you if you messed something up, forgot something, miscalculated or were unattetive. Because with the weigts and forces involved, if something goes wrong, it really goes wrong. To those machines a human is basically what a fly is to a human. The dont even notice an arm or a leg getting in. And human strength is absloutely laugthable and does not even register. I had a few close calles during my time working with that stuff. One morememorable was me on a bad day forgetting to do the final tightening on the holding bolts for some very heavy spacers slottet into the chuck while turning a turbine shaft. Overall just head sized chunks of solid steel. When I started the machine it spun up to 1800 rp/m and after a few seconds on max speed the things came loose. They shot up straight through the enclosure, up to and hitting the roof of the workshop at 15 meters, and came straigt down around me. Two impactes in around a 1 meter radious around me, and one came by my ear and slightly "brusched" my upper arm. Still enough to rip open my work clothes and I still got the scars from that brush with death. Because those things left craters in the solid concrete floor. If it had come down just a ferw centimeters off, it would have hit me straight in the head, pulverised my skull and probably folded my backbone like an acordeon. Suffice to say I left early that day and had a few too many beers in the evening. Other events include a college just brusching a spinning chuck and having his hand instantly shattered and ripped upen, or another crushing his leg because he was in the machine setting it up and coming against the tool control, getting it between the wok piece and the tool carrier. Thankfully I have never seen somone die, but we were shown very gorey footage of what happens if you really fuck up during work saftey schooling and refeshers. The most notable is why you never ever wear long sleves. That one will stay with me for the rest of my life. The dude in the video got his long sleeve caught in a spinning work piece on a lathe. Got turned into the most gruesome slinky known to man and that whole shop needed a crime scene cleaner because of the spray. Worst part was that the dude didn´t even get pulled in intatly, but managed to hold on for a few seconds. That one ugly way to go, and really drives home how powerful these machines are. If you get lax or fuck around, you won`t find out, because you won´t have enougth time left to think about how dumb it was in many cases.

​@@theexchipmunk I really enjoy machining videos and your job sounds so cool. What kind of tolerances did you usually work with? When you had to center on a four jaw, how did you set up the indicator and how much travel did it have? I'm used to looking at tenths on a tiny little thing I can move with my finger.

@@Oberon4278 Well, regarding the tollerances it really depnded on the piece. When we made the castorcontainer for an experimental reactor it was nearly all in the millimeter or tens of millimeter range, except for the seal area at the lid. But with stuff like the turbine shafts that would for years rotate at thousands and with the "smaller" ones tens of thousands of rpm? The overall roundness and straigntness was in the hundreds of millimetres for a 2-5 meter long part with a diameter of about 20-40 centimeters, some of the fittings for the bearings were in the thousands of milimetres. Every small inconsitancy could massively shorten the lifeexpectancy of the part due to the very harsh loads and speeds they would be subjected too. When centering and not just using a freshly overturned tip on both ends (one driven the other on a bearing) because it was easier to achive the high requirements for roundness that way, I would generally fix my indicator on the machine bases rails that the tool carrier traveled along on. The best place because it´s the most solid and flat area without any possibility for it shifting. Then I would use the arm the indicator was fixed too, to get the tip of it as close to the jaws as possible on the workpiece to get it as accurate as possible. We usually had two indicators, depening on accuracy only the first with 10 mm overall travel and 1/100 mm accuracy was used and if it needed to be in the 1/1000 we all shared the second to get it really finely set up. ( and if you broke that one you would be the but of a lot of jokes and get a talking to, thing was really expensive) But that was extreamly rare, because we generally planned the process in a way that the parts that all needed such a degree of accuracy would be turned in one operation, so we would not need to do that whole very involved setup. As the saying goes, work smarter, not harder. Especially when time is monery.

I'd add onto this: If you see a man in a lab coat running, you also run. I have seen (and been in) several fires because a reaction went out of control and ended up causing a fire that detonated (yes, boom) the lab gas pipes. if a lab is on fire, GET OUT then call the fire department.

That shouldn't have been blamed on her. Human reaction can't always be controlled.

But when working with those metals its important to only cut off small pieces that don't do much damage even when they reaction is out of control. So there should not have been a large enough piece on the floor to make them have to evacuate.

How long did it take to wash your hands? I've had HCl on my hands quite often, and it never really hurt, neither 10% nor 30%, although even 30% was on my skin sometimes quite long... Like a minute. Tbh when I knew it won't hurt I may was also a little slower sometimes with washing it off in order to make some contacts or so. The first time I got that acid on my skin I thought it would hurt, so I was a little bit to fast on the way to the sink and felt, realizing that it wasn't hurting at all. Guess the smoothness comes from the acid turning off a bit of the dead layer of the skin. Or just the sebum layer.

@@rangeldino2633 It took me a few seconds to realize that the moistness was HCl and I did not feel the burn immediately, but I must have had it on my skin for 10 to 20 seconds while I made my way across the classroom full of other HCl-carrying students, set the tube down on the tube stand, pulled the tight glove off my hand and started washing it off. I don't recall any percentage, just the 6 mol/L concentration of it which was much higher than what we should have been working with by the rules.

Maybe the dead layer of the skin was slightly damaged, leading to this smoothness (But I would not recommend to do this regularly, because ofc this layer is a natural protection against corrosive stuff). Btw I found some hours ago an old video of NileRed where he puts his hands into acids like HCL, H2SO4 and nitric acid ^^ Video name is "Pouring different acids on my hand" You are right, in school one should not work with that stuff without proper safety and safety instructions, also because a student may not think about it and rubs his eye in a second or so. But on the other hand I have to admit I would've been glad if my chemistry lessions in school would've been less theoretical.

@@rangeldino2633 I've definitely had worse burns and gashes, a pointy rock can obviously do worse things in less time to your skin than any acid. Nevertheless, in terms of how fast it got painful, it beats any lye/battery acid/acetone/concentrated bleach that I've accidentally gotten onto my skin otherwise. On the plus side, it was quick to wash out and didn't penetrate the skin too deep. As a side note, that same teacher later on thought that the usual cyclohexane we were to use for chromatography practice was too slow, thus she mixed in a bunch of chloroform. Each student group used it at their workstations, without any fume hood or room ventilation beyond a single open window in the teacher's corner. She didn't want the hallway door open, of course. -_- Several students felt dizzy afterwards, and my former chemist of a dad was not amused.

To be honest, even size-fitting gloves wouldnt have really saved you unless you wore thick nitril gloves, especially made for acids

this is… oddly specific. Are you and the ppl at ur lab okay?

​@@marjan732 Biotech startup run by paranoid conmen. My dad's first workplace, out of college, more than 20 years ago now. The lawsuits are all settled by now, all that's left are tumors and regrets. On the plus-side, the building was made into the temporary city hall for a while.

I am too ADHD to be a chemist, lol.

What dix you do

So then the solution is to make a lap around every car in the parking lot, right? 🤣

Explosions&Fire Hello

@@ExplosionsAndFire Crikey

TRAS̸H DØVE Also I heard polyester can accumulate static charges and basicly static electricity + flammable organic solvents is pretty terrible combo.

I'd say polyester has it's places. Some reactions I do don't involve flammable material and the ones that do, I just use cotton. But for some distillations and reactions, polyester is just fine. You are correct though, polyester is not fun when on fire.

@@Andrew-my1cp Yes, e.g. in biochem classes and galenics, we were fine with polyester coats; and to an extent in organic chem classes. Everywhere we didn't have open flames so nothings is gonna catch on fire unless we are very stupid and deserve it

@Corvus Morve Holy fuck man. Looks like I'll stick to cotton for damn near everything. I use oils baths a lot but they are on the ground and only a couple hundred mLs of mineral oil but still.

@Corvus Morve How hot was the oil? I read polyester melts at 295C. That's really freaking hot! I can't even bring my oil baths to that temp.

Lawsuits. Also taken very seriously.

That is true!

that's a damn good teacher

@@questionmarkquestionmarkques Yeah she was awesome! She reacted very quickly and probably saved that girl a lot of pain.

@@marshmallowmountains4636 glad she was chill about losing the pants in class lol, way too many people would have sadly claimed sexual assault or something dumb

@@beebadoobie8429 Damn I never thought about that. That kind of needless accusation doesn't really happen around here that much. Or at least nowhere near as often as other places.

@And-Nonymous Um, yes that's where I'm at?
