What are the consequences of not wearing safety glasses in a catalysis lab?
Failing to wear safety glasses in a catalysis lab can lead to severe consequences. Eye injuries such as chemical burns, corneal abrasions, and punctures from flying particles are common risks. These injuries can result in significant pain, medical treatment, and even permanent vision impairment. Additionally, not adhering to safety protocols can lead to disciplinary actions, fines, and reputational damage for the laboratory and its personnel.
