ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** I am looking for resources on safety in museum classroom settings. I have read many manuals and attended seminars where safety in a regular classroom is discussed, however these sources always assume that you have a long term, ongoing relationship with the students. I am looking for guidelines and advice more tailored to a museum situation in which you don't know the students before they enter the room and the relationship might be as short as one hour or at the most a week. Does anyone know of sources or guidelines for this unique situation? How do others limit their liability in this situation? Any help given would be greatly appreciated.
