I am very concerned about safety aspects relating to the use of chemicals with my technology classes. Where can I find some useful advice?
The Department of Education and Training developed a resource package ‘Chemical Safety in Schools’ (CSIS) in 2000. Copies of this two volume package should be available in your school. Volume 1 contains general information for all staff in the school and Appendix A provides safety advice on most general use chemicals. Volume 2 section 3.3 contains curriculum support documents for Technological and Applied Studies. Appendix D provides safety advice on additional chemicals that may be found in secondary schools. The most recent advice about chemical usage in schools is available at Department’s Intranet. Source: Chemical Safety in Schools (1999).
