      No thankfully! Despite the fact I’m a rather clumsy person!

      No I always make sure that I take everyone’s safety into account when doing experiments.

      I think I am more watchful of other people than I am myself sometimes!

      No luckily I haven’t!

      Things can definitely go wrong in chemistry because there are so many machines and chemicals around. We have to be really careful!

      At my work last year someone had a nasty accident. There was a big explosion and one of the walls bent inwards! Luckily everyone was ok but it makes you remember just how important safety is!

      No, safety measures are always very strict and therefore the likelihood of hurting myself or others is extremely low.
