Safety Information for the Classroom: Ohio Safety Manual
PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY

The purpose of Safety Information for the Science Classroom is to strengthen safety practices in the science classroom and to provide science teachers and students with guidelines for a safe laboratory and study environment in which learning occurs. Planning for safety may appear to be time consuming. However, it is imperative that safety considerations be provided by the science teacher and followed by the student. Properly planned and maintained safety programs are preferable to accidents, injuries, or damage to health and/or the environment, and are far better than fines, penalties, and potential court cases.
