Keep it Safe! Health and Safety
in Practical Science for New
Teachers
Suitable for: All new or recently qualified
Science teachers
Science teaching has a very good health and
safety record. Nevertheless, science teachers
must comply with health and safety legislation
as there are many hazardous chemicals, living
organisms, pieces of equipment and procedures
in use in school laboratories. There are many
pitfalls to trap the unwary, particularly
newly-qualified science teachers. As well as
knowing how to work safely, new teachers also
have to develop the skills needed to run a
successful practical lesson. As part of the
course we will consider what this means and
offer suggestions and tips based on new
CLEAPSS publications.
What will the course include?
This course includes a number of activities such
as presentations, discussion in groups, quizzes
etc. and will seek to reassure the over-anxious,
whilst restraining the too independently-minded
teacher. It will de-bunk a few myths and look at
legal requirements and the duties of teachers and
their employers. There will be opportunities to
check model risk assessments, such as Hazcards,
and to consider how these might need to be
modified to deal with problems of a particular
school, room or class. The importance of
adopting control measures, such as eye
protection, and of sticking to agreed procedures
will be emphasised. The session dealing with
emergencies will consider Immediate Remedial
Measures for personal injuries and other
incidents. Activities in the lab that commonly give
rise to problems will be highlighted and discussed.
There will be opportunities to discuss each
participant’s own safety concerns.

Safe and Successful
GCSE Biology
This hands-on course gives ideas for how to
manage the large number of specified practicals,
whilst at the same time allowing students to
investigate the topic being studied. We will also
look at how revisiting the ‘same practical’ in
different topic areas can help students manage
the difficulties posed by a linear exam system.
The complementary role of the teacher and
technician will be looked at throughout, and we
will discuss strategies for effective team working.
This is a biology update course and the content of
the course will change with curriculum
developments. The course assumes you are
familiar with the basics of Health and Safety
management and biology practical skills such as
those in Supporting Safe and Successful Biology I
and Supporting Safe and Successful Biology II.
What will the course include?
−− learn how to manage the large range of
activities required at GCSE, and look at
combining KS3 and GCSE practicals
−− help with linear assessment by revisiting
practicals from core science in additional/
separate science
−− to develop scientific enquiry skills by looking at
the use of investigative practical work

Suitable for: Technicians, Senior
Technicians, Teachers
If this is your first year working on Biology
practicals and you have concerns about the
Health and Safety aspects and the techniques,
then this course will help build your confidence.
The hands-on course will give guidelines on how
to work safely to prepare the materials and
equipment. We will also look at ways in which
you can get unreliable practicals to work. You
will be able to trial all the practicals you prepare,

Suitable for: Technicians and Teachers
Suitable for: Experienced Technicians, Teachers
Are you are concerned that traditional A level
practicals do not do enough to develop your
students’ scientific enquiry skills (How Science
Works and Working Scientifically), and so
reduce their ability to perform well in
examinations?
As an experienced technician or teacher, you
will be aware that many biology practicals do
not give expected results in lessons. You might
also lack confidence with practicals that
support teaching in new areas of biology. This
hands-on course looks at ways to resolve the
problem of getting consistent results,
considering a range of key practicals in current
GCSE and A level specifications. We will also
introduce techniques for gene technology and
