Well, i got to work at 22:50 on saturday night (am meant to start at 2300) - and was wandering around seeing what needed to be done, went outside to grab some tanker samples that had been left between the end of the last shift and the start of mine, and went to come back into the lab and pushed on the window int he door, and SMASH!! my arm went right through it!
My first thought was oh crap im in trouble for breaking a window, then i looked at the sleave of my lab coat and it was red, so i had to call the boss in to cover my shift and sit in up in A&E all night waiting to be seen
Your lab doors don't have safety glass??? What sort of operation are they running...just kidding, looks very nasty but as mentioned could have been a hell of a lot worse if you had of hit anything major.

Perspex is good, just don't get too many organic solvents on it! If it is a new lab, then non-safety glass on doors is a disgrace. If it is a typical older lab, I wouldn't expect that sort of thing to be upgraded until a breakage occurs. The front door on my house had a big pane of glass..."luckily" I put a folding ladder through it before anyone fell through it, it's a nice safety glass pane now...
