LOS ANGELES (AP) — A young chemist fatally burned in a UCLA laboratory was inadequately trained, lacked experience and was not given protective gear before handling highly flammable chemicals, an expert witness testified Tuesday.
Neal Langerman, a chemist with a consulting practice in advanced chemical safety, was called by the prosecution in a preliminary hearing that will determine whether chemistry professor Patrick Harran will stand trial for violating California occupational health and safety codes in the death of Sheharbano “Sheri” Sangji.
