LAB SAFETY
Whether home or at school, we need to practice our lab safety rules when completing hands on activities. Please go over the lab safety rules with your parents/guardians before signing the parent letter.
Lab Safety Rules (Key Ideas)
I will act responsibly at all times while completing labs. I understand that horseplay, jokes, and pranks are not appropriate while completing these experiments.
I will not touch any equipment or supplies I have been provided until instructed to do so by the teacher.
I will perform only those activities that have been authorized by the teacher. I will never do anything that is not called for by the procedure.
If my teacher asks me to get parent permission or adult supervision before doing a lab, I will ask before doing the lab.
I will make sure my lab area is clean and neat.
I will tie back long hair, baggy clothing and dangling jewelry while doing a lab activity.
I know whom to contact for help in case of an emergency.
I will never eat, drink, or chew gum while completing the lab.
