About these posters

These four free printable posters cover them: working safely in the lab, what protective kit to wear, what to do if there is a spill, splash or accident, and a checklist to complete before starting an experiment. They suit school science labs, college and university teaching labs, and small workplace labs. The wording is general good practice, so add your own local rules and contacts using the write-in box. Download A4 or A3 PDFs, or the complete set as a ZIP.

Questions

Do these replace our lab rules?

No. They are general reminders. Your lab will have its own rules, equipment and emergency arrangements, so add them next to the posters.

Can pupils use the checklist?

Yes, it has name and date lines. Print one per pupil or laminate it and use dry-wipe pens.

Do the posters show hazard symbols?

No. We have not copied official hazard symbols. Display your own supplier labels and signs as well.

What age are they suitable for?

They are written for older pupils and adults, from around secondary school upwards. For younger children, use simple class rules.
