ALL,
If the sign on the door says safety glasses or goggles are required - and
that is under normal circumstances - than it would seem prudent to require
it of anyone who enters under less than ideal conditions. "Safety first"
shouldn't just be a slogan for students - it should apply to EVERYONE who
may be adversely impacted at a potentially hazardous location, including the
faculty (particularly the faculty?), administration, staff and
guests/visitors.

Kathy,

I think if the first responders have to come into the lab, they should put
on goggles, however inconvenient that may be, unless we are dealing with a
life or death situation where seconds could make a difference.  What do you
think?  Barb

The chief of our campus police has asked me to write up a SOP for his staff
when dealing with an emergency in the Chemistry labs.  I have a CHP that
talks about emergency situations, but he is looking for something very
specific that can be used for training.  Does anyone have something like
that I could use as a guide?
 
Also, do you require the first responders (police, fire fighters, EMTs,
etc.) to put on safety goggles or glasses before entering a Chemistry lab
that could be full of students activity completing their experiments?
 
Thank you!
