Houston ISD Core Values Safety Above All Else- Safety takes precedence over all else. A safe environment must be provided for every student and employee. (From HISD Purpose, Goals, Core Values and Strategic Intent Document) BioEd Online

TAC ? ? ? BioEd Online

What is the TAC? TAC, or Texas Administrative Code, is a compilation of all state agency rules in Texas. One TAC category, Title 19, contains rules related specifically to education in Texas. These rules cover the following. Protective eye devices Hazardous substances School laboratory facilities BioEd Online

MSDS ? ? ? BioEd Online

What is an MSDS? An MSDS, or Materials Safety Data Sheet, is a description of properties and potential safety hazards of a specific chemical substance. Courtesy of Centers for Disease Control BioEd Online

ANSI Z87.1 ? ? ? BioEd Online

Safety First Safety is the first science objective for every elementary grade. Always follow your school and district guidelines. Focus on safety practices before, during and after classroom and field investigations. Every investigation conducted during the school year requires some safety considerations. BioEd Online

Science Safety Activity As a group, examine the cartoon to the right. Identify all potential safety hazards you see. Then, list those hazards on your recording sheet. You have 5 minutes to write down as many hazards as you can spot. After 5 minutes, discuss in a large group all the safety hazards in the cartoon. Modified from Laboratory Safety Institute BioEd Online

Safety Activity Results BioEd Online

Safety Activity Results BioEd Online

Science Safety Posters Use symbols to remind students about safety policies during science investigations. Have students collaborate to create their own posters about safe practices and equipment. BioEd Online

Teacher Responsibilities Teachers have three basic responsibilities (always follow school and district guidelines). 1. Instruction Provide developmentally appropriate and accurate instruction. Exercise good judgment in planning and conducting investigations. 2. Supervision Never leave students unattended. Monitor and act upon unsafe behavior. 3. Maintenance Use appropriate, well-maintained equipment. Establish a regular inspection schedule for equipment and a review schedule for safety procedures. BioEd Online

What makes safety equipment different from science tools? Safety equipment is for personal protection. Know in advance what safety equipment to use in a given situation and how to use that equipment appropriately. BioEd Online

Safety Equipment for the Classroom First aid kit (one per room) Fire extinguisher (one per room) Fire blanket (one per room) Eye/face wash (one per room) Safety gloves (gardening, latex, vinyl or nitrile, beginning in 4th grade, according to HAPG) Lab aprons (one per student, beginning in 5th grade, according to HAPG) Approved safety goggles (one pair per student; frame should be stamped “Z87.1” to indicate approval by American National Standards Institute ) Safety goggle disinfectant Material Safety Data Sheets (one set per school) BioEd Online

Goggles When to use Use goggles if there is a chance of particles or projectiles hitting the face, such as when using sand or balls. Use goggles to prevent eye injury from chemical splashes (chemical could be something as simple as vinegar). ANSI Z87.1 The frame of the safety goggles should be stamped “Z87.1” to indicate approval by American National Standards Institute. Cleaning alternatives UV sterilization cabinet Safety goggle disinfectant BioEd Online

Chemicals in the Classroom Teachers are required to have access to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the chemicals stored in their classrooms. The MSDS forms should be housed in a central location, such as the nurse’s office, for access by all campus staff. Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Includes the chemical properties of a substance. Explains proper procedures for handling or working with a particular substance. Includes physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point etc.) and describes toxicity, health effects, first aid procedures in case of exposure, reactivity, safe storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill/leak cleanup procedures. BioEd Online

Safety Object Wall Create a safety object wall to help students recognize when to use various pieces of safety equipment. BioEd Online

Safety Contracts Safety contracts emphasize appropriate, safe behaviors in the science classroom. Provide each student with a copy of the safety contract and an explanatory letter to take home. Have the contract signed by a parent or guardian. Keep this information on file. BioEd Online Source: Mesa Public Schools (AZ)Source: Northside Independent School District (TX)

Science Safety and Notebooks Use a science notebook to facilitate student learning and encourage safe practices during science investigations. Include a safety section in students’ science notebooks. Emphasize safety precautions in every investigation. BioEd Online V
