In this module you will evaluate risk, thinking about the relative hazards for any class of compounds you work with, determining appropriate procedures, choosing protective equipment and safely performing experiments based on recognition and evaluation of hazards.

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.

A well organized field trip, with carefully planned activities, greatly enhances the safety and educational value for all participants.

Labs, especially those using solvents in any quantity, have a very high potential for flash fires, explosion, rapid spread of fire, and high toxicity of products of combustion (heat, smoke, and flame).

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.

First aid is the first and immediate assistance given to any person suffering from either a minor or serious illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery.

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.

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

There are safety concerns in the wood shop resulting from the equipment, tools, and raw materials used, as well as from the occupants in the room.  This module will assist in providing some safety awareness when in the wood shop.

Get started with the Science Safety platform and modules.

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.

Glassware is one of the most commonly used kinds of equipment in science laboratories. In this module you learn about lab safety rules when using and handling glassware to avoid accidents and injury.

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.

There are many types of gloves available today to protect against a wide variety of hazards. In this module you explore how the nature of the hazard and the operation involved will affect the selection of gloves.

Glowforge Printers as 3D laser printer that cut, engrave, and score hundreds of materials. It takes the power of a factory and makes it safer K-12 students, for creation classrooms.

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