Applied Science courses recommend that students should make a visit to some aspect of the scientific industry to investigate Heath and Safety regulations and processes. Unfortunately, such visits are often difficult to organise, especially for large parties of students. To partly address this need, this module leads students through the legal aspects of the Health and Safety regulations; the concept of risk assessments and how to develop them. The use of safety signs greatly adds to the reduction of hazards. A virtual tour of a corridor and two laboratories can be used to show signs in context.
Resources for students and teachers support the activities.
