  1. Safe Labs for Chemistry Students Dr. Mike Bridge, Prof. Sylvia Draper, Dr. Noelle Scully Application for UK HEA Physical Sciences Taskforce Dr. Bill Byers, University of Ulster, Dr. Tina Overton, University of Hull

  2. Access to information Access to data Identifying chemical hazards Safety Training – without the boredom ! Real life events Safe-practice in Labs Transfer of knowledge Use of Safety Data Recording and storing MSDS Experimental hazards Handling chemicals

  3. Safety talks Real event Focus Laboratory Scavenger hunt Looking for and Prioritising hazards Self-Informing-Self Modular Learning T.L.Helser J.Chem.Ed. 1999, 76, 68 Prioritising and storing data – ‘on insects’ ‘The Four Pests’ S.M.Wright J. Chem. Ed. 82, 10, 2005, 1519 Life Experiences for Risk Assessment Team competition exercise and prize Incorrectly assembled apparatus Industrial Invited Speaker

  4. ½- Day Safety Training Workshop Web-based Education • Target Audience: 3 yr undergraduates + • Laboratory scavenger hunt • – to identify and prioritise 5 most serious hazards in teaching lab • - to note staged assembly hazards – distillation, over-night form, vacuum line set-up • Simple MCQ self-test – how much do I know now ? • Real Life accidents – e.g. methylmercury contact, fumehood explosions, fire extinguishers • MSDS sheets - completion, storage and access • Invited Speaker • Prize-giving for teams scavenger hunt • Future development as modular content to postgraduate course • On-line assessment of workshop through webCT of Remote Work
