Safety Manager's "Safe Handling of Laboratory Glassware"
Videotape Training Program discusses the nature of various
types of glassware, and the problems it can cause... as
well as the need for employees to use and maintain laboratory
glassware safely. Broken glassware causes more laboratory
accidents than any other hazard. Because it is so fragile,
glassware can easily fracture if it is bumped, dropped
or too much pressure is applied to it. Some glassware
accidents don't require much more than a band-aid, while
others can result in a lot of blood and the need for medical
attention. And the threat of contamination from the materials
in a broken container can also be a serious problem.
