Abstract
A customized safety video was created for the laboratory component of a general chemistry course. The video incorporated information specific to laboratory experiments and equipment, as well as policies unique to the institution. Clips from popular film and television series were used to capture and sustain the attention of the audience while reinforcing relevant safety directives. Given the ready accessibility of multimedia resources and software, this approach can be adapted at any school to produce a customized safety video.
