instructor are responsible to create safe assessments, and when students are absent, to ensure they are brought up to speed on the safety considerations while conducting the assessment to ensure all are aware of the best practices to remain safe throughout the assessment.
Using the teaching specifics that have been identified in this module will assist the Instructor in making safety a natural, integrated part of the course which is paramount in nursing education.
Teaching students on what equipment is available for their safety is probably one of the most important guidelines necessary in learning within this environment.
Proper PPE - Personal protective equipment includes safety glasses, and protective gear to assist in protecting the student from biohazardous condition that they may find themselves in actual practice.
Early during the beginning of the class there are rules that are clearly posted within the lab environment; these include rules that stipulate what behavior is expected from them, such as no running, no horseplay, professional attire must be worn, and professional behavior is mandatory.
Its everyone duty to practice safety at the training facility. Come proper dress no loose clothing proper leather shoes must be worn remove all jewelry at the training lab.
Demostratons will be utilize as students are show how to perform a related skill.
Safety in the labs and shops is not only required prior to my students start any project. It also gives them the discipline needed to prevent injuries / incidents. They will know that any field has safety requirements.
Comment on Laura Hogins's post: I strongly agree, Laura, because the risks are too great for ourselves and our students. Safety first.
Safety is a principle that constantly must be reinforced in life but more specifically in the classroom. The requisites listed, such as no horseplay, never carrying more than what you can handle, and cleaning up after spills to avoid slipping, are necessary in order to provide a safe working environment for students. I am proud to be on a campus that consistently instill safety in its students. Having multiple lessons that go over Safety and having the students constantly engage in those practices ensures the longevity of not only the curriculum, but also the student.
We can be liable for student injury if we can't establish that a student acted inappropriately and not in direct violation of our duty of care.
Safety is key to achieve a competent collaborative learning environment.
safety is key in learning in the lab to keep each student safe and a good practice
Lab safety is of the utmost importance in a classroom setting to ensure the well-being and protection of students, educators, and others in our lab environment. It is essential to adhere to strict safety protocols, guidelines, and practices to prevent accidents, injuries, and hazardous situations. By following proper lab safety procedures, students can minimize risks, handle equipment and materials safely, avoid exposure to harmful substances, and respond effectively in case of emergencies. Educating our students on lab safety promotes a culture of responsibility, awareness, and respect for the scientific processes, fostering a safe and conducive learning environment for hands-on lessons. Prioritizing lab safety in our classrooms is essential for creating secure and productive learning environments where students can develop practical skills and apply theoretical knowledge confidently and cautiously.
When starting a new lab course, safety rules and regulations must be discussed and implemented to keep all students safe.
Safety in the lab environment is upmost important. The need to highlight the importance of safety in the lab to the students requires addressing at each lab class. The failure to address wearing PPE's in the class breaches the duty if the instructor in the class.
I like the idea of doing quick safety check-ins at the beginning of class to reinforce the need for following safety protocols. In the laboratory environment there are a host of hazards. We must work hard to ensure our students understand the hazards and how to avoid them.
Safety is important and if the basic guidelines are not followed it can be the responsibility of the teacher if someone were to get injured.
Since I teach Woodworking, welding, and construction. Safety test and safety instruction is taught at the beginning of every class and reinforced throughout the year. For them to be career ready this point of safety can never be underestimated.
It was interesting to learn about the foundational baseline for workplace skill training. I will certainly use this model when creating laboratory assignments. Safety should be prioritized in the laboratory setting; I plan to use a safety and equipment sign off sheet to document this from now on!
Safety glasses and PPG (personal protective gear) are the most important.
Some laboratories are designed for research in which students gain new knowledge not known in the student's field. Other laboratories are designed for instructional purposes; in such labs students can learn something that is already known. Labs fitting the latter description are common to competency-based programs.
Safety is number one always. I always emphasize safety especially when in labs. PPE must be worn to ensure safety
