Science Safety

Welcome to the Science Safety Hub

Welcome to your central resource for science laboratory safety in schools. This site supports teachers, school administrators, and regional staff in delivering safe, engaging, and meaningful science learning experiences.

Whether you’re planning a hands-on experiment, reviewing safety procedures, or managing your lab space, this resource provides the guidance and tools you need. While this site does not replace the Science Safety Guidelines entirely, it does have the most up-to-date information around Acceptable Chemicals, Laboratory Microburners, Laboratory Safety Videos.

Explore the sections above for acceptable chemicals, microburner resources, student lab safety training, and levels of responsibility — all designed for Nova Scotia schools.
