Science Safety Handbook

Hi Everyone

Over the summer I have been tasked to write a Science Safety Handbook for my high school to cover everything from chemical use to waste disposal.  It will need to apply to all of my science courses.  Does anyone have a handbook at your school that you would be willing to share?

Thank you for your time

Emily, in addition to what Ruth shared with you is a great resource from NSTA. http://www.nsta.org/safety/

The back of the Flinn Scientific catalog is a great safety resource. It would be an excellent starting point. You can request a hard copy of their catalog or find safety recommendations under the safety tab on their website.

Agreed.  Flinn has great safety resources.

They also have Safety Contracts & Exams online that you can print for high school, middle school or college in English and/or Spanish.

NSTA also has excellent NSTA Safety in the Science Classroom resources  http://www.nsta.org/safety/

Are you being tasked with a general safety document or a Chemical and/or Lab Safety Plan?

In addition to a wonderful catalog filled with safety ideas Flinn has a basic outline for a chemical hygiene plan.  The plan would cover all of the topics you describe.
