The law addresses three concerns when suing for injury. Duty of Care Must Exist The duty of care means that the instructor must have responsibility for the safety of the students. As an instructor in a laboratory or shop environment, this is assumed. Breach of Duty If the instructor has a duty of care, it must also be proven that the instructor has breached his or her duty. For example, by not enforcing the "safety glasses" rule, the instructor has breached his or her duty. Injury Results From Breach of Duty In most instances, lawsuits hinge on breach of duty. In this case, it is imperative that an instructor document his or her safety guidelines, as well as how they are enforced.
