Incident Details
- Date and Time: February 25, 2025, at 1:15 PM
- Location: Science Lab, Room 108, Springfield High School
- Involved Parties: Class of 25 students, supervised by Emily White, Science Teacher
Incident Description
During a routine experiment involving sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid, a student accidentally knocked over a 500 ml beaker containing the mixture. The spill resulted in minor injuries and disruption of the class.
Cause Analysis
The spill was primarily caused by overcrowding around the lab bench, which did not provide adequate space for all students to participate safely. Additionally, the lab bench layout contributed to the unsafe handling of chemicals.
Impact Assessment
The chemical spill caused minor skin irritations to three students who came into direct contact with the spilled solution. The incident disrupted class activities and highlighted the need for improved safety measures in the lab environment.
Recommendations
- Restructure lab sessions to ensure smaller groups, allowing for better supervision and safer handling of materials.
- Redesign the lab layout to provide more space at each bench and clear access to emergency equipment.
- Implement mandatory safety orientations at the beginning of each semester, emphasizing the proper handling of chemicals and emergency procedures.
