Laboratory Safety
Safe and clean environment has got special attention of scientists, science educationists and industrialists now a day all over the world. The science teachers more than any other are facing the task of educating the pupils and changing their attitudes towards the concept of safe environment. As part of science education, we must in tide the reasoned consideration of hazardous chemicals, procedures and the best way of minimizing these potential hazards in this course.
For the course to have maximum effect “safety” must be seen as the foundation stone of laboratory work. This first question to be asked about procedure is not “is this better done as a demonstration”? But “Is it sale”? it is too late to ask that question once work is underway, so safety should be a regular topic in the science teaching.
In this unit, you are introducing with general laboratory safety and techniques, chemicals, biological, radiation and fire hazards and first aid treatment.
OBJECTIVES
After reading this unit, it is hoped that you will be able to:
- know about general laboratory safety and technique;
- recognize the chemical biological, radiation and fire hazards and can protect;
- can protect you and your students from various laboratory hazards;
- give first aid treatment when required.
