I use a safety contract that I got from NSTA a few years ago- I can't find it on the site now and I can't seem to attach it. There are others on most of the science supply sites as well (Wards, Flinn, etc...) I do now allow students to participate in labs until I have it signed by parents. I also have the 'Big 6 Science Room Rules' that can be immediate removal from the room and a '0' if broken during lab. They are:
1) No Horseplay!
2) No Throwing of Anything
3) No Eating, Drinking (except water), or Chewing Gum
4) No Sitting on Tables or Lab Benches
5) Stay Out of Prep Room, Cabinets, and Drawers Unless Instructed to Do So
6) No Harassing, Touching, Feeding, Watering, or Messing with Living Organisms Unless Instructed to Do So
