CREATE A SAFER STEM PROGRAM

Safety Inspection Application (SIA)

A mobile and web-based application that allows school systems to deploy standardized safety inspections, allowing administrators, educators, and staff to easily complete safety audits and inspections for laboratories, storage facilities, CTE rooms, classrooms, and maker spaces. The inspection tool can record results with visual evidence, note any equipment to be repaired/replaced, or identify any unsatisfactory condition discovered. SIA generates an inspection report, including documentation and images captured during the physical inspection, and is designed to help schools and school districts better prepare for annual safety inspections and support overall safety objectives. Volume pricing is available.

Safety Acknowledgment Form Application (SAFA)

Designed to ensure that a school or district remains safe and meets local and national regulatory requirements by electronically managing safety acknowledgment forms/contracts for every student for every class. A safety acknowledgment form is a document that students sign to indicate that they have received and understood safety policies and procedures for activities within a class. Volume pricing is available.

STEAM Inventory Management (SIM)

A cloud-based software application that allows a school to manage inventory (e.g., equipment, materials, education kits, chemicals). From quantities and locations to expiration alerts, and SDS forms, SIM will help schools comply with various OSHA and state safety and purchasing regulations. Licensed annually based on the number of “sites.”

Science Safety Pathways meet the needs of Educators based on their role, grade, subject area, and career stage. Individual pathways are designed to provide educators with a thorough understanding of the various safety concerns and issues with STEM and CTE programs and provide learners with a deeper understanding of general and specific safety-related topics (e.g., hazards, risks, best practices, and safety procedures), upon successful completion certificates, and micro-credentials are earned. All topical content is reviewed every 30 days and is aligned to legal safety standards and better professional safety practices. These are asynchronous personalized safety qualification programs for educators and administrators. These range in length from 6 to 14 hours with a multi-modality knowledge transfer instructional design methodology based on scaffolding content and making deeper connections for the learner through evaluation and assessment protocols and scenario-based learning. There is a learning pathway for every educator and administrator in the school system that will help make the entire district ‘safer’. Volume pricing is available.

Document Review Services

Science Safety specialists collaborate with school districts and departments to review, author, modify, present, and develop core safety and regulatory documents, such as District Safety Guides, Chemical (Environmental) Hygiene Plans, Lab Safety Guides, Hazard Communication Standards, and Laboratory (chemical) Inventory Reviews. Documents are aligned with federal, state, and local jurisdictional health and safety regulations and legal standards (OSHA) and accepted better professional safety practices.

In-person and online workshops

Recognized, credentialed safety professionals. discuss legal safety standards, Duty of Care, schoolwide safety awareness, better professional safety practices, standard operating procedures, responsible chemical management, and safety inspections. Workshops can target classroom teachers, principals, and specific grade/subject areas. ½ day-to full-day sessions are customized to meet local schedules and allocated professional development days.
