Science Safety in the Community College

Science Safety in the Community College is specifically designed to help two-year college faculty including adjunct faculty lay a good safety foundation for students in introductory science courses even when they have widely differing science backgrounds. To encourage safety within a climate of inquiry, this handbook covers essential topics such as: equipping a lab for safety, safe materials storage and disposal, safe field studies, and special considerations for working with living organisms and teaching chemistry, Earth and space science, and physics.
