Science teaching has a very good health and safety record. Nevertheless, science teachers need to be aware of the requirements of health and safety legislation as they apply to hazardous chemicals, living organisms, scientific equipment and procedures in use in school laboratories. There are many pitfalls to trap the unwary, particularly recently qualified science teachers. As well as knowing how to work safely, early career teachers also need to develop the skills necessary to run a safe and successful practical lesson. As part of the course we will consider what this means in practice and offer suggestions and tips based on CLEAPSS publications.
