George Dowson answered on 13 Nov 2014:
Unfortunately yes. I am lucky that I have never been involved in an accident where anyone was injured but accidents do happen. This is why you always wear lab coats and safety glasses in labs. You might not be doing anything dangerous but the person behind you might!

As George says, small accidents are always possible.
However, a major part of carrying out an experiment is set safety assessment before you begin.
This is where you look at the experiment in its entirety, look at what might go wrong and then change the experiment to minimise these possibilities.

Not in my lab thankfully, but there was a small explosion in the lab next to mine. Very very scary but at least nobody was injured!
