Science Safety Administrative Procedures

Click HERE to take you to the STAO Website.

This document is an example of an administrative procedure for science departments for use by boards in Ontario. The purpose of this document is to help boards compare their current procedures and documentation, where they exist, and create one for those where they are not in place. Boards are encouraged to adopt and adapt the items below, where appropriate, into their science safety management systems, policies and procedures.

This document draws on key information found in STAO’s Science Facility Safety and other safety resources such as Safer Use of Chemicals in School Science Laboratories and Safe ON Science. In addition STAO wishes to thank Lambton Kent District School Board for permission to use its Science Administrative Procedures as an additional reference.

NOTE: A working draft copy can be made available for members upon request from STAO.
