    KS3 Chemistry Revision- Hazards and Risks


    Revision notes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zsfpb82/revision/1

    1. What is a hazard?

    2. Hazard symbols are used to indicate the dangers associated with the substance inside and
    give information about how to work safely with the substance in the laboratory. Where are
    they commonly found?

    3. Hazard symbols are designed to provide a warning, even if a person cannot understand the
    writing that goes with them. Fill in the table below

    4. Hazards and risks are connected. When evaluating a risk, think about factors such as:

     the way the hazard causes harm


    Dr Choong 2020

     how likely it is that someone or something will be exposed to the hazard

     how serious the effects of the hazard could be

    What is a risk?

    1. A precaution is something that can be done to reduce a risk of harm. Discuss in pairs, what
    are some of the precautions these students should take to minimise their risk of injury?
