I like the video. I think it gives a good brief overview of the importance of assessing risk in the lab. I do think it needs to stress severity of consequence more like others have stated. I would also mention that risk assessments should be performed whenever someone sets foot in the lab, whether they are performing an experiment or not, and does not always involve a specific form. Sometimes a risk assessment in the lab really is as simple as crossing the street.

With the support of the ACS's Innovative Project Grant program for technical divisions, DCHAS has been working with Timothy Gallagher of the University of Bristol and a video artist to develop a short video on the the topic of laboratory risk assessments and maintaining situational awareness as work proceeds. We are nearing the end of the editing process; the current draft is available for viewing at

I'd appreciate any comments or questions DCHAS members have about the video by Thursday of this week.
 
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
