Safety is our top priority!
Each student must read and sign a safety contract. Parents must also read and sign the safety contract. The text of that contract is located below, and you can download it by clicking here. Please feel free to contact Mrs. Dever with any questions or concerns about this contract.
Safety is our #1 priority. We know that the lab is a safe place to work and learn if we conduct ourselves in the proper manner. We agree to follow the safety rules listed below:
a. I will use and handle all equipment/materials in the manner for which they
are intended.
b. I will learn the location and proper use of safety equipment and emergency
procedures.
c. I will report all accidents to the teacher immediately.
d. I will clean and return all equipment to its proper place and dispose of
chemicals and other waste products properly.
e. I will not eat, drink, taste or smell any food or substance in the lab
unless directed to do so by the teacher.
f. I will conduct myself in a manner that will not distract or endanger
myself, or others, in the lab.
g. I will read and follow directions carefully.
h. I will not perform unauthorized experiments.
i. I will not work in the lab alone.
Failure to follow these safety rules will result in the loss of lab privileges until a parent-student-teacher conference can be held.
