Course programme

The course involves five sessions:

  • Why do we do practical work?
  • Science IS safe
  • Introduction to health and safety legislation
  • How CLEAPSS can help
  • Risk assessment

Activities in the lab that commonly give rise to problems will be highlighted and discussed.

You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your own safety concerns. You'll also be able to check model risk assessments, such as Hazcards, and consider how these might need to be modified to reflect the circumstances of a particular school, room or class.

The importance of adopting control measures, such as eye protection, and of sticking to agreed procedures will be emphasised.
