Classes for which experiment is required


Teacher: Aparna Powale (training code 6) Year Group: 7 Room Period Date
G06 6 Tue 22/10/24
Items to be prepared by laboratory technician (training code 1)
6 pair of magnets in total

Procedure or reference, including variations


NA

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

For outdoor activities , consider wind, temperature, rain/hail/snow, UV, air quality, fire danger, pollen, bites/stings etc

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 electronic review notes or hand-written notes on a printout. It will be
reviewed within 15 months as part of the regular review process.
