Science Safety Certification Courses

Students planning to work in a chemistry laboratory need to learn basic safety principles before beginning.

IB Students planning to work in a chemistry laboratory need to learn basic safety principles before beginning.

Concussion safety training for classroom teachers, school administrators, paraprofessionals, teacher’s aides, and other staff.

This module must be completed before a teacher can apply for D-14 & D-15 certificates of fitness which is required for NYC K-12 schools. All teachers who use laboratories in NYC K-12 schools require a Certificate of Fitness.

Performing safer dissections is a common practice in biology programs and allows students to learn about the connected systems within organisms and provide a better understanding of anatomy and physiology.

Being prepared is the most important thing you can do when you perform any Earth Science lab with students.

Eye protection is necessary in all science classes in which there are biological, chemical and physical hazards present at the elementary, middle and high school level.

Eye wash stations and Emergency Deluge (Drench) Showers are essential parts of the safety infrastructure in your laboratory setting.

In this module you will learn about different types of fires and different types of fire extinguishers to use depending on the unique situation that you are dealing with.

The most common chemicals used when performing nichrome wire flame tests are recognized as toxic, and adequate precautions should be taken to ensure good ventilation of the experimental area.

There are inherent hazards and risks associated with performing forensic science and biotechnology investigations including biological, chemical and physical sources.  This module will help identify those safety concerns in the laboratory.

In this module you will learn how to properly label chemical bottles and containers using the GHS protocols and how to read a safety data sheet. This understanding is a safety requirement for labeling chemicals to identify known hazards and hazard information.

In this module you will learn about the GHS and how chemical hazards are classified and communicated through the use of labels and safety data sheets (SDS) to improve awareness and understanding about the products being handled.

Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances.

In this module, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Safety (GFCI Safety), we will discuss how a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help prevent electrocution.

Preventing fires and explosions in laboratories is not very common, however these tragic events still occur and injure staff and students.  These accidents are the result of poor practices, lack of training, lack of chemical understanding and the mishandling of chemicals or equipment in the laboratory.

Safety inspections are intended to identify safety issues or problems that may not be observed or identified as such by the day-to-day occupants of a laboratory. In this module you develop a deeper understand why safety inspections are important and review best practices.
