At 14:10 on 2026-04-22, a 20 mL acetonitrile spill occurred in Analytical Lab 1.
One analyst was present; no injury or symptoms were reported.
Flammable solvent spill on bench surface during sample preparation.
The analyst closed the vial, used the solvent spill kit, and notified the lab supervisor.
Nitrile gloves, coat, and safety glasses were worn; no skin contact occurred.
Sample rack was overcrowded, increasing vial tip-over risk.
Reduce rack loading limit and retrain analysts by 2026-05-08.
