Atlantic's Safe Handling of Laboratory Glassware video Program discusses the nature of various types of glassware, and the problems it can cause... as well as the need for employees to use and maintain laboratory glassware safely. Broken glassware causes more laboratory accidents than any other hazard. Because it is so fragile, glassware can easily fracture if it is bumped, dropped or too much pressure is applied to it.

And the threat of contamination from the materials in a broken container can also be a serious problem.
