Learning By Accident (Volumes I, II and III, The Laboratory Safety Institute, 1997 & 1999, 2003) are the series of compiled, anecdotal accounts of laboratory accidents.

Heading topics include accident summaries for chemicals, equipment, materials, and environment in a broad scope of settings, including academic biology and chemistry, hospital, industrial and government research facilities.

The easy to locate information is presented alphabetically by topic, cross-referenced by entry and fully indexed. In addition to a full spectrum of chemical hazards, individual entries often include precautionary advice. Examples are remedies to medical injury, proper technique and handling of volatile material, preventative behavioral modification, and adequate communication such as distinct labeling and per-exposure instruction.
