Middle School Laboratory Safety Rules

Science is about discovering and exploring (̽Ë÷) the natural world. Explorations can occur in the classroom, laboratory or field. As part of your science lessons, you will take part in many activities using many different materials, equipment and chemicals, which can be dangerous if not used correctly. As a result, you may be faced with biological, chemical or physical hazards£¬

Safety is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing. The following safety rules have been developed for the protection and safety of everyone.

¡ïBehave yourself in a responsible way at all times. Risky behavior such as throwing things and doing experiments without teachers' instructions is not allowed.

¡ïEating, drinking, chewing gum£¬wearing make­up, touching contact lenses (ÒþÐÎÑÛ¾µ) or other unsafe activities are not allowed.

¡ïDo not enter or work in the laboratory unless an instructor is present.

¡ïNever enter areas where chemicals are kept.

¡ïTaking any chemicals or equipment away from the classroom or laboratory is not allowed.

The safety rules must be followed at all times. Review these rules with your teacher and parents, then sign and get the signature (Ç©Ãû) of a parent. The signature shows that you understand the lab can be dangerous, and that you have read the rules and agree to follow them at all times. Signatures are needed before you can go on with any lab or science classroom activity.
