I have considered the risks of:

Certification by teacherI have assessed the risks associated with performing this experiment in the classroom on the basis of likelihood andconsequences using the School's risk matrix, according to International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO31000:2009 and the Risk Management Guidelines, HB 436:2004.

I consider the inherent level of risk (risk level without control measures) to be:

Control measures:

Additional measures: safety glasses, gloves

With the specified control measures in place, I have found that all the risks are "low risk". Risks will therefore bemanaged by routine procedures in the classroom, in combination with the specified control measures.

Certification by laboratory technicianI have assessed the risks associated with preparing the equipment, chemicals and living organisms for this experimentand subsequently cleaning up after the experiment and disposing of wastes, on the basis of likelihood and consequencesusing the School's risk matrix, according to International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO 31000:2009 andthe Risk Management Guidelines, HB 436:2004.

I consider the inherent level of risk (risk level without control measures) to be:

Where the risk level is "medium risk", "high risk" or "extreme risk", the following control measures will be employed:
