Don't they still have technicians to sort all that stuff out? We did manage to set a desk on fire but that was with a 'spilled' beaker of officially-supplied ethanol for electrolysis and some wanton sparking.

What I've got is five unlocked school labs and an unlocked ground floor Prep Room with, amongst loads of other things, 4 x 5litre containers of 2M Hydrochloric Acid and a COSSH cupboard with the key in the lock. Also a large dumb waiter lift fully functioning to an upstairs Prep Room where more stuff is accessible. This has all been unlocked since 4.00pm and I'm locking up at 10.00pm.

Anyone here work in a school science dept?
When I was at school my cohorts and I had some jolly japes and cocked about but we never had access to all the things. Like all the chemicals in the prep rooms, the stop valve for all the gas to all the labs/classrooms and access to the hazardous chemical cupboard. If we had we'd have at the very least set something ablaze.
My question is having access to all the things is okay now then and H&S are just words?
