Hello Flavio! I am a pre-service teacher from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. A moment ago, I read the blog post 'How Safe Is Your Lab for the New School Year?' by Ken Roy. As a pre-service teacher with minimal experience in a lab setting, I have many curiosities when it comes to lab safety. I was wondering if you would be able to spread some advice on what are the best ways to control your classroom when an incident in your lab occurs. I am worried the students may panic if an experiment goes wrong and I lose control of the situation. What are the best and initial steps for how to properly control and address an unfortunate situation that may occur in a classroom? Another curiosity of mine is, how can I involve the community in my future school district when it comes to lab safety?
Thank you,
Marlee Boyle Wartburg College

Flavio, is there any way that I can receive a recording of the upcoming web seminar? I am a pre-service educator at Wartburg College and have a night class on Mondays, so I am unable to attend any of the sessions on lab safety. However, I am very interested in the subject seeing as I have little to no experience preparing a safer classroom and am currently preparing a report on lab safety for my peers!
