My that seems so clear. This is the standard that should be cited immediately every time one of these things happens. 10 feet or a barrier, take your pick. And qualified people etc. No pawn ticket for the ring? The engagement is off.

What is needed is common sense. Is this something that can be learned?
The question is where the common sense needs to be located. The NFPA has already laid out very explicit expectations for classroom chemical demonstrations that enable a prudent person to work safely. However, it's not clear to me that either the teachers (or other demonstrators in public spaces, such as museums, daycares or scout gatherings) are aware of this standard. In my opinion, school administrators need to be more curious about why not...
