Health and safety

Risk assessments are required for any hazardous activity. In this unit pupils:

  • plan an investigation into the burning of fuels

Model risk assessments used by most employers for normal science activities can be found in the publications listed in the Teacher's guide. Teachers need to follow these as indicated in the guidance notes for the activities, and consider what modifications are needed for individual classroom situations.
