Planning for safe practical work (CLEAPSS)

The Royal Society of Chemistry are hosting a series of events, designed to support new teachers as they begin or continue their journey in science education. It is primarily aimed at teachers who have been teaching less than five years but if teachers would like a reminder of all that CLEAPSS offers they would also be welcome to attend. Spaces are limited so we advise that people sign up early. You can book to attend all the sessions or just the ones that suit your needs!

Session outcomes

By the end of this session, you  will:

• Know where to go with issues surrounging safety in the school laboratory
• Know what to do in specific scenarios
• Understand how to risk assess practical work

Session information

David Paterson will be presenting this session. He is an Assistant Head and Chemistry/Physics teacher at Aldenham School, Elstree. David has worked with CLEAPSS over the last decade, developing a range of resources to support safe and effective practical work in schools. In this session, David will cover key ideas in planning and risk assessing practical work. Alongside highlighting useful CLEAPSS resources, delegates will consider different practical scenarios and discuss how they would manage these situations. Delegates will also have the opportunity to ask their own questions.
