If these chemicals were sitting in Gallon bottles on a shelf in a storage closet, I seriously doubt that we have an “Andromeda Strain” scenario...

I remember a cooling line blowing n a unit we used to manufacture where i worked it was little more than a bit of glycol the company decided they needed to call in a haz-mat team to clean up it cost a fortune and a hefty fine too 2 guys got doused with it and didn't hurt them a bit ...

Then there was the thermometers placed in a box for storage and subsequently had another box set on top of them they broke once again haz-mat was called another hefty fine when the box could have been wrapped in a haz blanket and disposed of properly they put themselves out of buisiness just by existing the company was perpetually in panic mode every time some sneezed too loud

It was comical at times to watch the overlords sweat it out over everyday things that happened in an air conditioning shop !
