At another post, this time at an R&D op for a "name" company we had this special "glove box". Nestled inside was sodium and potassium metal under oil. You would put a "boat" or tray into it through an airlock, slice off what you needed, tare the scale and boat, weigh it out and then pass it back through the airlock. There was a weekly inventory of it just to prevent the witless from taking it from the premises for at home antics.
They also had something called a "perchlorate" hood. I said a silent prayer of "thanks" that I never hooked up with any "perc" in my younger years. Didn't realize that stuff was so toxic that it needed its own hoods.
Damndest thing - most everyone who worked there had bad teeth. I started to wonder if there was something in the chemicals they kept there that made people's teeth fall out.
