 * Consider joining Flinn Scientific List Serve**
 * To join, go to: http://www.flinnsci.com/Sections/Freebies/flinnFreebies.asp
 * From August through May, you can join the Flinn's Science Department Safety Training program. It's free! You will receive a different safety training topic every month. The purpose of the Science Department Safety Training Notes is to provide a forum for science teachers to review safety requirements and procedures, discuss their safety concerns, and set goals to improve safety.
 * August's training is entitled “Safety First Is No Accident.” It will help you review safety responsibilities and lab activities and provide advice on how to use safety contracts and a safety checklist to ensure that safety procedures and policies are a top priority.
 * To help students understand their important role in meeting safety goals consider the award-winning, Flinn-produced student safety video/DVD entitled “Introduction to Laboratory Safety.” See video clilps at: [|http://www.flinnsci.com/video.asp]
