    1. The document outlines a risk assessment for a physics experiment involving light refraction and reflection using Hodson light boxes. 2. Potential hazards of the equipment include broken glass, electric shock, and burns from hot lamps and filters. Standard handling procedures are described to mitigate these risks. 3. The teacher has assessed the risks of the classroom experiment as low and can be managed with routine procedures. The laboratory technician must also take precautions in preparing, using, and disposing of materials for the experiment.

    RISK ASSESSMENT Reynella East College

    Light- Reflection and Refraction


    Written by: Jasmine Wiese Commenced on: 1 Jul 2020 Expires: 1 Oct 2021

    Classes for which experiment is required


    Teacher: Jasmine Wiese Year Group: 11 Physics Room Period Date
    S2 L4/5 Fri 3/7/20
    The equipment is in the classroom, I am
    happy to gather it and put it away myself.
    Items to be prepared by laboratory technician
    5 groups of:
    1 x light box apparatus
    1 x power supply

    Procedure or reference, including variations


    Students will be using the light boxes to demonstrate refraction and total internal reflection.

    Equipment to be used
    Hodson light box
    Potential hazards Standard handling procedures
    Breakage of glass filters. If mains powered, possibility of Sweep up broken glass with brush and dustpan; do not
    electrocution if wiring defective, especially in wet areas. use fingers. If mains powered, check for electrical safety
    Lamp and filters become hot and may cause burns. each time before use; test and tag at regular intervals.

    power supply
    Potential hazards Standard handling procedures
    Possibility of electrical shock; check cable, cable entry Leads should be well insulated at every point, so that it
    and plug before each use. Level of risk depends on is impossible to touch live metal. Inspect regularly for
    output voltage. signs of damage to cord, cord loose in plug, cord loose
    at entry to power supply, or any signs of corrosion or
    other damage. Should be tested and tagged regularly.

    Knowledge
    I have read and understood the potential hazards and standard handling procedures of all the equipment, chemicals and
    biological items, including living organisms.
    I have read and understood the Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous chemicals used in the experiment.
    I have copies of the Safety Data Sheets of all the hazardous chemicals available in or near the laboratory.

    Risk assessment
    I have considered the risks of:
    fire or explosion breakage of equipment exposure to pathogens waste disposal
    chemicals in eyes injuries from equipment injuries from animals improper labelling/storage
    inhalation of gas/dust rotating equipment intense light/lasers inappropriate behaviour
    chemicals on skin electrical shock UV, IR, nuclear radiation communication issues
    ingestion of chemicals vibration or noise pressure inside equipment allergies
    runaway reaction sharp objects heavy lifting special needs
    heat or cold falling or flying objects slipping, tripping, falling other risks

    Certification by Teacher
    I have assessed the risks associated with performing this experiment in the classroom on the basis of likelihood and
    consequences using the School's risk matrix , according to International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO
    31000:2018.

    I consider the inherent level of risk (risk level without control measures) to be:
    Low risk Medium risk High risk Extreme risk

    Risks will therefore be managed by routine procedures in the classroom.

    Certification by Laboratory Technician


    I have assessed the risks associated with preparing the equipment, chemicals and and biological items, including living
    organisms, for this experiment and subsequently cleaning up after the experiment and disposing of wastes, on the basis
    of likelihood and consequences using the School's risk matrix , according to International Organization for Standardization
    Standard ISO 31000:2018.

    I consider the inherent level of risk (risk level without control measures) to be:
    Low risk Medium risk High risk Extreme risk

    Where the risk level is "medium risk", "high risk" or "extreme risk", the following control measures will be employed:

    Control measures (attach further pages as required):

    safety glasses gloves lab coat apron fume cupboard

    With the specified control measures in place, I have found that all the risks are "low risk". Risks will therefore be managed
    by routine procedures in the laboratory, in combination with the specified control measures.

    Monitoring and review


    This risk assessment will be monitored using comments below and will be reviewed within 15 months from the date of
    certification.
