Safety rules exist, not because safety professionals stayed up late trying to figure out ways to make things take longer and cost more money. It's because they know that when someone did it that way, they were either killed or crippled. Of course, you know that, but how do you convince others at your organization to take safety seriously? More to the point, How do you convince them it's worth the budget? Over the past 40 years, LSI has discovered nearly 100 ways to convince others that lab safety is important. In this webinar, we’ll share the whole list and discuss several of the ways.

Specialty Webinars

This 60 minute presentation will focus on the issues of safety and liability in science demonstration and strategies for making them safer. How do you more safely select, prepare, transport, and present the demonstrations that you will perform? What are the negligence and liability issues the come into play when conducting science demonstrations? How do you ensure that the pedagogical benefits outweigh the risks? Why is banning specific demonstrations not the best approach to solving the problem? Instead, what are the five critical changes that need to be made in science education to make demonstration accidents and injuries less likely? This is for any K-16 science teacher who wants to do safer demonstrations.

You can have as many people attend as you wish around a single connection. If more connections are needed, please discuss at the time of scheduling.
