There is also an update of the "Safety Guidelines for Chemical Demonstrations" that  was produced by the Safety Committee in the Division of Chemical Education.  The link for this is at: http://www.divched.org/committee/safety

 

This is also posted at:  https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/chemical-safety.html

 

Plans are afoot to effect a wide(r) distribution of this two-page document.

let's hope this reduces these events.  Every science teacher should have a copy and ACS made it free on their site now.  It sure will be exhibit A in the next lawsuit for this type of injury.
