BOAS PRÁTICAS APLICADAS NO ÂMBITO DE LABORATÓRIOS DE ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS NATURAIS EM INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO DE POSSE-GO

Abstract

This work describes the importance of good practices apllied in Natural Science laboratories in public institutions of Posse, Goiás. It explores how regulatory standards guide the teaching work and mitigate inherent risks. To achieve this, the work methodology is divided into two important parts being the collection datas from educational institutions and the dissemination of a manual. Data collection involved the collaboration of teachers, laboratory technicians, coordinators, and directors. Technical visits and interviews were conducted at institutions to identify potential risks associated with laboratory practices and carrying out a survey on the occurrence of accidents. Subsequently were provided a safety manual to these institutions containing useful safety information for the development of practical activities. No accidents were reported during the classes of the interviewed teachers, all of whom prioritize the safety of students despite the difficulties, such as poor physical infrastructure, lack of laboratory technicians, shortage materials and personal protective equipment (PPE) and collective protective equipment (CPE).
