click1.2c Using investigative approaches: assessing risk and working safely |
| recognise risk, e.g. identify the hazards present when a liquid is being heated | be mindful of safety in the use of equipment, e.g. when taking samples of cheek cells it should be the person from whom the cells are being taken who handles and disposes of the equipment |
| understand the need for the control of risk, e.g. explain why spillage of water is a hazard | explain how one course of action is better than another in the control of risk, e.g. explain why, when working with cultures, incineration is better than disinfecting |
| recognise an effective control method, e.g. explain the reasons for acids being managed in a particular way and specific safety precautions being deployed | |
