Considering plenty of chemistry can melt your face off or dissolve your lungs or otherwise make you disappear I'm happy that chemists have the sense to invoke formality and protocol in how they proceed. I'm guessing the better specimens are able to write their own protocols; know how they fail; know beforehand what is likely to happen and how to deal with it all. The lesser ones are likely ticking time bombs of rapid poisoning and spontaneous combustion.
