Safety should be taught in some form everyday in a lab.

Safety in lab environments serves to both protect students in the learning environment and condition the students to practice safely once they have joined their respective careers.

One of the reasons I found certain safety regulations are ignored are because people are in a hurry to finish, or they are not paying appropriate attention to the precautions and/or instructions (usually because they are in a hurry to finish).

Safety is always the first priority. If you can't do it safely then don't do it. Lab accidents are a fast way to lose your program, job, everything.

Safety is a priority. It important to test students on their ability to navigate safety issues so you can observe any breakdown and try to correct it.  We have to be sure to never compromise the safety of our pts. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to educate my students to understand this concept.

Safety guidelines are to be adhered to.  It would be a good idea for the instructor to reinforce safety precautions often.

Being safe is the most important part of being a nurse. I must be safe to help others and teach the students

As a math teacher I don't have to worry about safety as much, however I teach inside the labs students use for their other fields so I have to keep it in mind. 

Rules should be posted and successfully modeled by teacher. 

Our students havent built the immunity that us medical veterans have, its been super important to spray down all desks and equipment between classes. 

Tell horror stories to your students about fatalities and near fatalities.

Proper PPE is part of our course material when our students step foot into our shop for any hands on work. Its a constant battle with some of them to wear safety glasses and proper foot wear, however there is a reason for these things being a requirement and it isnt just because we are trying to be a jerk about all of it. 

That we need to be vigilant about safety. 

Instructors should have good computer skills, be familiar with concepts of quality and statistics, have good organisational skills as well as have understanding about economics and have good team building skills.

Guidelines about safety rules, dress code , behaviour and attitude to be observed in Lab should be known. Occupational health and safety officer should be available to administer proper guidelines and do regular checks, to prevent work related injuries and accidents In addition to this the instructor should be well trained in how to manage or handle such a situation.

I have and will continue to promote safety FIRST every day. This will embed it into the student's brain. If it is a reminder every day, they're less likely to injure themselves or others, however, accidents do happen. Having a class discussion about the safety policy will help them to retain it. 

It is important to remember that all students do not learn in the same manner.

Safety is high on my list of improving this year. Documentation of what was signed and when. I think that will help my students feel safe and me feel I have covered my bases for the school. 

Good information. I have a hard time writing rubrics but this section really helped me see some ways I can help make them better. 

I go over all of my safety on the first day of class and let them know what will haopen if. They are caught doing something wro in the lab

 

This was harder for me. I think it will take some extra study to get it right.
