Summary:The idea of a practical examination in a subject is an old and established one in many fields, within chemistry, in widely differing areas of academics, and in many on-the-job training scenarios. In a dedicated course on chemical safety, we have found that "the unsafe lab practical" makes for a thought-provoking and yet fun final examination. This paper discusses the steps in making and executing such a practical examination and points out where such an examination can be delivered.
