Science Classroom Safety and the
Law—A Handbook for Teachers
By: Kelly Ryan, Esq., Attorney at Law
Many safety problems exist in the teaching laboratory. Lack of safety equipment, poorly designed laboratories, improper chemical storage and disposal, increasing class size, poor safety planning and training, and lack of supervision are all major safety issues that must be resolved.
Science Classroom Safety and the Law was written to educate instructors about court cases that apply to science education so you can successfully persuade administrators to make the “right” decision regarding science safety. This book will give you the “ammunition” you need to correct safety problems. Author Kelly Ryan understands firsthand the safety problems instructors face since he was a chemistry teacher for 17 years at a large California high school before becoming an attorney.
The book is divided into five sections:
• An overview of negligence and other legal concepts you need to understand to successfully argue for science safety.
• The circumstances surrounding liability in the science laboratory. Why do accidents happen and where do they occur?
• Practical solutions to everyday safety problems. An examination of how existing case laws applies to different “safety situations.”
• A review of 34 actual appellate court cases and how the law applies to science education. The facts of each case are described, and the general principles are summarized in layman’s terms.
• A discussion on the types of defenses a teacher can use if sued.
Throughout the book, practical suggestions are made to improve safety and reduce the potential for liability. This book will provide the neces- sary information you need to get safety problems corrected. 156 pages, 81⁄2" x 11", soft cover.
