Abstract

In this article, we analyze textbooks in regard to safety within the chemistry laboratory. Successful laboratory work requires the fulfillment of safety conditions that protect students. Teachers rely on textbooks and so we looked at six upper secondary level textbooks. We examined the number and type of experiments included in the books and also to the degree safety instructions were refered to in school experiments. Teacher´s guidebooks and expert reviews were also evaluated.
