Risk assessments - safety when experimenting in the classroom
When carrying out experiments in the classroom, learning and experience take centre stage. However, this is only possible if all possible hazards have been recognised and assessed in advance.
We support you when experimenting with experiments from the Science Lab student experiment system with prepared risk assessments. These list all the hazards that can arise from the experiment itself. You have the option of adding your own comments regarding the room situation and learning group.
The risk assessments are now conveniently assigned to each Science Lab experiment and can be saved or printed out.
Risk assessments for experimental teaching are based on the STOP principle:
In detail, this means the following:
S= Substitution of sources of danger
We have already carried out the substitution of hazardous substances in the student experiments in the Science Lab. Likewise the reduction of quantities and concentrations.
T = Technical measures
In the risk assessment, we suggest technical measures that reduce hazards.
O = Organisational measures
We leave this point to you, as only you know the circumstances of the premises and the learning group
P = Personal measures
We suggest suitable safety measures to reduce the risk to your students.
Further information on our risk assessments can be found in LeyLab - our comprehensive online portal for organising and managing experiments and equipment. The risk assessments are stored there in every Science Lab student experiment for physics, chemistry and biology.
