SAFETY CONTRACT AND EXAMS

Safety Contracts
The foundation of any school science safety program is the development and use of a student safety contract—a contract clearly spelling out the safety rules of the science laboratory that students must follow. Flinn Scientific has developed the “ideal” safety contract—50 rules covering a wide variety of safety issues. It is the most complete contract ever developed and you can download it here, for FREE.

Safety Exams
A safety test can provide the necessary assurance that both the student and teacher are upholding their end of this important responsibility. Included is a blank Science Laboratory Safety Test as well as a Teacher Answer Key.

SAFETY DEMONSTRATIONS

LABORATORY SAFETY CHALLENGE

A great way to show students that the safety rules make a lot of sense is to role-play
what happens when the rules are deliberately ignored or violated. The purpose of the
laboratory safety challenge is to have students witness lab procedures gone awry, and
then use their observations to derive a common-sense set of safety rules. Check out our
free activity sheet and watch our video and challenge your students.

Wear Your Goggles

Lead by example. Eye protection is required in the
lab, and students are more likely to comply when
they see that no one is exempt.
