LAB SAFETY CONTRACT Name:
_____________________________
The
National Science Teachers Association urges that students be required to review
and sign a “contract” that defines acceptable behavior in a school
setting. The following is a list of such
rules.
I WILL:
1. Perform lab
work ONLY when a teacher is present in the room.
2. Follow the
directions on the lab handouts step by step to minimize error or accident.
3. Know the
location of all safety equipment in the lab, including the eye-wash station,
first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, safety shower, and blanket
4. Wear goggles
at ALL times and tie back hair when using flame - TAKE OUT CONTACTS BEFORE LAB
BEGINS during specific labs as designated by teacher (ex. acid lab).
5. Act
responsibly (deemed by teacher) at all times.
6. Never chew,
eat, or drink anything in the lab, including gum.
7. Keep work
area clear of any unnecessary items.
8. Ask the
teacher or follow instructions before disposing of lab materials.
9. Clean up all
materials in lab area at the end of the period.
10. Report ANY lab accident or breakage to the teacher
immediately.
11. Cheating on
lab reports will result in a zero for any student involved.
Students
should also realize the implications of improper behavior. For example, courts have ruled that students
can be just as guilty of negligence as teachers in laboratory accidents. Rule violations will result in one or more of
the following consequences:
1. A MINIMUM of
10 points for any infractions of the above rules.
2. Removal of
that lab.
3. Removal of
all future labs with an alternative assignment given.
4. Removal of
class, resulting in a failing grade for that semester.
5. Detention to
be served with teacher at a determined time.
I, ___________________________________, have read and
understood the above rules and
agree to follow them.
I, ___________________________________, have also read
and understood the rules. guardian’s
