Science safety rules are time tested and (sadly) were made because of real life

experiences.

Following the rules may save your life some day.

Rules Instructions:In this section you will review the 21 science safety rules. Then you will take a simple test

of your skills before going further.Go over each rule carefully before proceeding.



1. Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the science laboratory.

Safety Procedures

A solid knowledge of safety procedures may help you save someone’s life someday!

It did for me a number of times, both in and out of the Coast Guard.

In this section you should take careful notes on the safety procedures on your student safety

procedures handout.Your notes should be used to study for the

final safety exam.
