looking for Industrial Safety Video - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Back about 15 years ago, the company I was working for made us watch industrial safety videos. I've been searching to find out the name of a specific video, and although I've seen other people reference it, I can't find what it was.

This one was specifically lab safety, and how dangerous certain chemicals were. The setup would be a mannequin dressed up as a lab tech, leaning over a beaker of the chemical in question. The narrator kept saying "Now, let's see what happens...", then something horrible would happen to the mannequin.

The final chemical, if I remember correctly, was picric acid. The camera zoomed back from the mannequin to show that it wasn't an actual lab, it was just two walls. Then it zoomed back further to show that the setup was deep inside a quarry. Then they blew the living hell out of the set.

Anyone?

not sure, but is this it?

YouTube - Chemistry Safety 1

it's been broken into 6 parts, it appears.

Redlemon, Did you ask at your local High School? The Chemistry teacher may know of it, or have a catalog of films and videos that are avaliable. I know as a shop teacher there were lots of films at the time and if budget had allowed I could have shown films all year. I know I would have enjoyed that rather than to actually teach some of the classes.

No Roach, it was a male narrator throughout the video.

Doc, I don't have any contacts at the high school, but perhaps I can find one.

Take the path of least resistance, just walk into the office or administration building and politely explain what you are looking for and ask if anyone could help you. 99% of the time they will be glad to help if they can, just remember everyone has a bad day now and then. Good luck.

I'm not back at work until a week from Monday, but if you remind me around then, I'll ask our chemistry and biology departments. I need to see if they have a Geiger counter I can use, anyway.
