The assessments don=92t apply just to chemical reactions but also to equipment such as lasers. I love this British regulation. Its been a part of their system for more than a decade that I know of. It requires a risk assessment for every potentially hazardous procedure--even in theater and art. Even more important, the person deciding to do this procedure has to sign the risk assessment. People really think before they do stuff like this. Way cool. Wish we had one like it. Monona Rossol
