Why Wear Goggles?
Science classes are not inherently dangerous, but when students work with strong chemicals, fast moving objects, and other unusual materials, there is greater potential for accidents and injuries. Different science classes have different risks depending on the types of experiments the students perform, the equipment they use, and their behavior in the classroom. • Biology: Dissections may involve sharp instruments that could cut students, resulting in hazardous bodily fluid spills. Furthermore, preservation chemicals used on tissue cultures can be toxic. • Chemistry: Strong chemicals and chemical reactions can create splashes, fumes, and dust that can irritate or damage eyes. Dropping test tubes, beakers, and flasks can also create dangerous shards of glass. • Anatomy: Students in more rigorous anatomy classes may encounter human bodily fluids or may be growing dangerous cultures that could cause infections. • Physics: These classes may use rolling, falling, or thrown objects to measur
