The school should have been more stringent in their approval of access to the science laboratories
The relief teacher should have been briefed beforehand that he was not allowed access to the science laboratories
The school could set up security system for the laboratories

HOD may have failed in bridging the gap between what and how much the relief teacher should do in this lesson.
HOD had not scaffold the delivery of the lesson plan, as prepared by the teacher (absent)
The poor relief teacher was left to make the most of the time given to him
