Recognition of laboratory safety and health problems has crystallized since the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
This Act requires that certain precautions be observed to protect the safety and health of employees on the job.
The employee designation includes all teachers employed by private and public school systems in States that have occupational safety and health plans accepted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
OSHA rules and regulations are provided to protect the employees and the facilities.
Students develop attitudes towards safety and acquire habits of assessing hazards and risks when they are young through lab safety training.
Students come from diverse backgrounds and have various levels of preparation. Most of them have no previous hands-on training in handling chemicals or equipment; others may come well prepared to assume personal responsibility for risk assessment and safety planning in their experiments.
The school science laboratory provides an opportunity to instill good attitudes and habits by allowing students to observe and select appropriate practices and perform laboratory operations safely in a virtual lab safety environment.
Safety and health training lays the foundation for acquiring these skills through simulation lab safety and lab safety interactive methods.
The students should think through the implications and risks of experiments that they observe or conduct in order to learn that safe procedures are part of the way science must be done using the virtual safety lab and lab safety simulation.
This test method sets out the procedure for the qualitative determination of the presence of arsenate in water by the precipitation of ammonium arsenomolybdate.
This precipitate is formed when a large excess of ammonium molybdate reagent is added to a small volume of arsenate solution that is prepared in diluted nitric acid, demonstrating proper safety protocols in the lab safety simulation.
I love the idea of virtual labs. It's gonna be something that takes our R&D and work in labs to another level. And I look forward to seeing what PraxiLabs can do with it.

Although there are now several vendors offering virtual reality software for physics labs, there is only one that offers a realistic, I feel like I’m in a real lab solution: PraxiLabs.

PraxiLabs offered my students a chance to actively engage with the material. Instead of watching videos on a topic, they could virtually complete labs and realize the practical applications of class topics. This is a quality alternative to in-person labs.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves in a situation that forced us to act quickly to find the best solution available to provide our students with a quality molecular genetics laboratory experience.
