Lab Safety Rules

Foothills Middle School

Room 104

 

My signature and the signature of my parent or guardian on the Science Safety Contract indicate that we have read and understand the lab safety rules for the science lab.

 

  1. I will always read, listen and follow written and verbal instructions.

 

  1. I will think carefully before I act.  I will not run, yell or mess around in the science room.

 

  1. I will use a quiet voice when working in the lab so that all directions may be heard.

 

  1. I will never touch or disturb any equipment, drawers, or cupboards unless I have teacher permission.

 

  1. I will perform only authorized experiments.

 

  1. I will protect my eyes and face while engaging in lab activities by wearing safety goggles and, when needed, other protective gear.

 

  1. I will not eat, drink, or taste anything in the science room.  I will NOT bring gum, snacks or something to drink (besides water) to class.

 

  1. I will report all accidents, spills and injuries IMMEDIATELY to the teacher.

 

  1. I will know how to use the lab safety equipment and will know where it is located. (Such as the fire blanket, fire extinguisher, safety shower, eye wash station, first aid kit and fire alarm.)

 

  1. I will NOT touch broken glass.  I will use a dustpan and broom to sweep it up and tell the teacher.

 

  1. When working with flames I will not reach across an open flame.  I will never leave a Bunsen burner in use unattended.

 

  1. I will tie long hair back before starting a lab.  I will tuck in loose clothing during labs and will keep my shoes on at all times.

 

  1. I realize that if I break a piece of equipment, I may need to pay to replace it.

 

  1. I will clean my lab station at the end of each lab.  It should look as good or better than when I started so that the area is ready for the next group of students.

 

  1. I will wash my hands at the end of each lab.

 

  1. I understand that if I do not follow classroom expectations and these lab safety rules I will not be allowed to participate in lab activities.
