Science Laboratory Safety Test Introduction Students and teachers working in science laboratories have certain important responsibilities that do not apply in other parts of the school building. Chemicals and apparatus will be used that, if handled carelessly, offer the potential to cause injury or even death to students. Science teachers have a duty of care to properly supervise, instruct, maintain equipment and facilities, and warn students of potential harm in their classrooms. This duty starts the very first day of class. A safety test can provide the necessary assurance that both the student and teacher are upholding their end of this important responsibility. Included is a blank Science Laboratory Safety Test as well as a Teacher Answer Key.
