Safety in Science and Science Education
-
The Laboratory Safety Institute (LSI) is a non-profit, international
educational organization for health, safety and environmental
affairs. The institute's mission is making health, safety and the
environment an integral and important part of education, work, and
life.
Our motto is Teach, Learn, and Practice Science Safely.
Teaching, Learning, and Practicing Science Safely means that before you do an experiment, demonstration, or activity...
- YOU KNOW the hazards.
- YOU KNOW the worst things that could happen.
- YOU KNOW what to do and how to do it if they should happen.
- YOU KNOW and use the prudent practices, protective facilities, and protective equipment needed to minimize the risks.
There's more to lab safety than just labs.
Our lives are filled with hazards. When we Teach, Learn, and Practice Science Safely
students and
employees...
Learn to care about their health and
safety.
Learn
to
identify life's hazards and how to protect themselves.
Create a safer and healthier learning and working environment.
Live safer, healthier, longer lives.
Unfortunately, the accident rate in schools and colleges is 100 to 1000 times greater than at Dow or Dupont.
It's time to Teach, Learn, and Practice Science Safely!
