Health and Safety A
Health and Safety A science project work is both dynamic and exciting but can also carry some risk. To avoid any accidents, make sure you stick to the following health and safety guidelines before getting started: • find out if any of the materials, equipment or methods are hazardous; • assess the risks (think about what could go wrong and how serious it might be); • decide what you need to do to reduce any risks (such as wearing personal protective equipment, knowing how to deal with emergencies and so on); • make sure your teacher agrees with your plan and risk assessment. Remember! Science isn’t just about data. The most successful projects will demonstrate good communication skills and show original ideas that address a real-world problem. Look at the world around you and consider all the innovative ways that you could address the challenge. Even if things go wrong, use this to show what you have learned.
