Did anyone else notice the photo on this page and become concerned: http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/robertson/2014/08/12/chemical-spill-closes-greenbrier-high-tuesday/13943343/? I see 4L bottles there. Looks like the HNO3 was only 500mL. But, why would they still be storing so much chemicals these days? Does anyone know what is being done to assist the K-12 community with best practices for chemical management? What kind of requirements exist for chemical safety training and lab management?
Thanks,
