Decent Lab Rules Posters

[MTW]

I am looking to buy some laboratory rules posters for our classrooms - something bright, eye-catching and that makes sense without being too wordy.

Do you guys have anything you would recommend?

How about something simple?

"No, you can't", "Put that down", "Don't touch unless told to"

That's usually a class induction activity;
Safety in the Lab: discuss & create a poster,
(after which, less is more)

We just use the CLEAPSS rules on a poster.

Don't think we can share them.

Thank you, Paul - we have those at the moment.

I think that people stop reading them after a while, they are quite wordy.

I was hoping for something a bit more colourful, with snappy wording, a bit like Purple Cat's initial suggestion mixed with the CLEAPSS wording - with a bit of adjustment.

I have had a look at posters with the usual suppliers which are OK, yet not quite what I am after.

I may just tart up the CLEAPSS poster with some graphics!!

There is a video clip with a song.

I made a mini 'lab rules' booklet to give to the students on the 1st day. It basically gives general rules of the lab as well as specifics for each of Chem/Bio/Phys [e.g. using conc acids/microbiology]. There are interactive bits such as 'spot the hazard' pictures and spaces for them to write up their own risk assessments with aid from the teacher during practicals - that way every time they do a practical they have to get out their lab rules booklet to jot down risks.

ours looks like this


it's the previous marketing managers format in indesign.

People stop reading everything after a while, you ignore adverts or they are distracting and kids get told off for not SLANTing.

That's the CLEAPSS template with a tweak or 3 isn't it?

If it infringes copyright I'll remove it

Nah nothing like that - was just recognising the wording from our own one

Yep, why bother reinventing the wheel (although they seem to do that on a regular basis in Education)

This is fabulous - thank you, Nick. Love it!

We had a poster in the research workshop at the University. It was just straight on portrait, until you looked closer, then you saw the nail head in the eye ball! Mmm, nice!

I should have just performed this on the external H&S inspection last week.
