This fall, Ken launched the NSTA Safety Blog to share his insights on the latest safety issues, legal standards and better professional practices. Ken reminds us about important science safety practices such as yearly safety training, our duty of care when working with students in foreseeable harmful situations, and the need to ensure an eye wash station works before doing labs that might require its use. Listen to the podcast to hear important safety tips and find out how to submit your own questions to the NSTA Safety Blog. | |
