It's very easy in schools and prep rooms to let safety information become dated and insignificant. The simple task of refreshing it every few years to be up to date information, simple and easy to follow, can make all the difference when an emergency does happen. #TECHOGNITION

Another little safety update in the labs, a refresh of signage and check of contents. It's too easy to walk past daily and become oblivious. Safety areas need to be clear and easy to spot. #techognition

Back to school basic checks for a Science Technician: Not the formal CLEAPSS advice. 1. Have a quick sniff when you first enter a prep room or lab. (This helps identify if some numpty turned off the dissection fridge for hottest 6 weeks of summer). #TECHOGNITION

Back to school basic checks for a Science Technician: Not the formal CLEAPSS advice. 2. Check all sinks and washing up bowls for spiders. Nothing worse that that surprise 😮 #TECHOGNITION

Back to school basic checks for a Science Technician: Not the formal CLEAPSS advice. 3. Empty the kettle and refill before you boil it for your first cuppa. It's probably now green water because no-one will have thought to empty it 6 weeks ago. #TECHOGNITION

Back to school basic checks for a Science Technician: Not the formal CLEAPSS advice. 4. Give the teachers anything that they need to come to you for (pens etc), before they come to you. How many times you'll be asked 'have we got?' Which means, go and get me. #TECHOGNITION

#TECHOGNITION A little 'Blue Peter' set up ready for some open evening science activities. Designed by a fellow technician and shared on TES. It is a wonderful way to have a little fun with chromatography. Chromatography Trolls. 🥰
