Chemwatch on CD is so much easier, it's updated 4 times a year. Can even add school logo to labels, include waste instructions, Formula everything. Ring Chemwatch direct for a quote on CD's

Re: RiskAssess

Hi Pommy,

My H.T has a question. Is that rule for just the Science Areas, TAS or all areas including eg., English? He feels it should be so, it's compulsory for the kids, other teachers come into our area to do relief lessons, although aren't allowed to do prac. Any ideas?

Thanks have a good week.

Re: RiskAssess

Thanks everyone, but tell me is it mandatory if they are in Science Laboratories but doing theory???? that's their main arguement, however they still duck into the prep. room and pinch equipment for so called theory lessons.
