This edition aims to encourage a resurgence in exciting practical work and helps teachers not to be frightened off by an over-reaction to health and safety fears.
Safeguards in the School Laboratory is essential reading for every teacher, from the newly-qualified to the experienced head of department, and for every technician. The book has information on what every teacher needs to know and what every head of department and technician needs to watch out for.
