How Do We Enhance Safety in K-20 Science and STEM?
This question is central to our vision and our mission at Safer STEM, and we take this aspect of our company internal values very seriously.
There are a handful of actions and corresponding questions that contribute to a safer environment in your schools for students and for staff alike. All of our safety conversations are based on your current existing risk management safety program resources and helping you make decisions about your next steps.
6 Safety Questions
Six simple safety questions will assist in evaluating and potentially enhancing your current safety program and making your STEM instructional spaces and laboratories safer for all occupants.
1. Do you currently have a Chemical Hygiene Plan?
2. Do you have a designated Chemical Hygiene Officer?
3. Does your district conduct annual safety inspections in the Science Labs, CTE rooms and other areas with inherent risk?
4. Are student safety acknowledgement forms used across the school district?
5. Does each school have the necessary, approved PPE necessary for the activities being performed (or demonstrated) including certified goggles, safety glasses, hand protection, lab coats / lab aprons, and other required safety gear based on the chemical, biological and physical hazards found on-site?
6. Have ALL educators participated in annual, appropriate safety qualification training and have documentation to validate?
