A list member let me know today that the National Science Teacher's Association released a statement last week about the role of laboratory safety relative to the Next Generation Science Standards which was discussed here about a month or so ago. The statement can be found at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nsta.org_docs_SafetyAndNGSS.pdf&d=CwIGaQ&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=BRwi3w0cihZn5lfAZKAlk9NYwtE4YOnYw82pixKRy8U&s=M23zMIPRatU-HH1GIL7vO2-8FLrib2RXYK1WYKAU5FA&e=

They also have a variety of other lab safety resources on their web site at

These include:
‰?¢ Managing Your Chemical Inventory (PDF)
‰?¢ Safety and the Next Generation Science Standards [added 2016.04.12]
‰?¢ Tips for the Safer Handling of Microorganisms in the School Science Laboratory (PDF) [updated 2016.04.12]
‰?¢ Field Trip Safety (PDF) [added 2015.03.17]
‰?¢ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (PDF) [added 2014.05.20]
‰?¢ Duty or Standard of Care (PDF) [added 2014.05.02]
‰?¢ Overcrowding in the Instructional Space (PDF) [added 2014.05.02]
‰?¢ Safety in the Science Classroom, Laboratory, or Field Sites (PDF) [added 2013.05.23]
‰?¢ Safety Acknowledgment Form for Working with Microorganisms (PDF) [added 2012.05.09]
‰?¢ YouTube and Other Public Posting of Science Demonstration Videos (PDF) [added 2012.05.09]
‰?¢ Safe Handling of Alcohol in the Laboratory

Many of these are likely to be useful models for specific organizations to start from when addressing these concerns.
