The purpose of the Safety Tips column is to improve the "safeness" of chemical instruction at all levels. Safeness includes awareness of, avoidance of, and appropriate responses to all health hazards encountered in the process of chemical education. To this end, this column will include articles concerning:
health hazards (chemical, physical, electrical)especially newly recognized hazards in common instructional practices
safety education for faculty and students
reviews of safety for beginning teachers
suggestions for helpful practices to improve safety (warning methods, documentation methods, inventory and waste management methods, modifications to improve the safeness of common procedures)
JCE is an affordable,
monthly, print and online publication. Each
issue is full of information and ideas you
can use today in your classroom or laboratory curriculum.
