Safety Rules, Procedures and Equipment Learning Lab This presentation is designed to familiarize science students with Science Safety Rules, Procedures and Equipment. It’s no replacement for daily on the job practice. Violations of safety guidelines often lead to serious injury and far worse! Jschmied-jbahr©2013

Science safety rules are time tested and (sadly) were made because of real life experiences. Following the rules may save your life some day. Jschmied-jbahr©2013

Rules Instructions: In this section you will review the 21 science safety rules. Then you will take a simple test of your skills before going further. Go over each rule carefully before proceeding. Jschmied-jbahr©2013
