Meet the increasingly complex challenge
of safe science teaching by becoming aware of the professional standards and
ethical issues guiding this profession.
Dr.
Jack A. Gerlovich and Associates
provide direction that will help avert complications. The workshops and seminars
they offer are valuable sources for science teachers, administrators, supervisors,
and preservice science educators to assimilate and put into practice the recommended
safety measures which could help avoid student injury and complications. Agendas
are flexible and can be adapted to any schedule. Workshops are available for
Elementary (grades 1-6) and/or Secondary (grades 7-14) levels,
and are based on software developed by Dr. Gerlovich and colleagues. The workshops
are designed to cover six important facets.
- To improve the
knowledge and understanding of laws, codes, regulations, and accident case
studies as they relate to science education safety.
- To demonstrate
a proven, computerized safety assessment system for secondary classrooms,
labs, storerooms, prep rooms, field settings, as well as elementary science
settings.
- To demonstrate
a comprehensive computerized safety management program to help satisfy OSHA's "Chemical Lab Standard", "Bloodborne Pathogen", and "Right-to-know" legislation
and legal and professional responsibilities of science educators at all
levels.
- To explain a
proven plan for safe redistribution and disposal of unwanted, hazardous
chemicals.
- To familiarize
participants with the
location and proper use of safety equipment.
- To assist administrators,
supervisors and teachers in lab design and/or upgrades.
