What covers you when a student is hurt in your lab or shop

A free module for K-12 teachers who run hands-on classes: science labs, CTE and shop rooms, art, and family and consumer science. It explains save-harmless laws, immunity, the federal Coverdell Teacher Protection Act and OSHA, and shows which of them reach you, state by state.

What you will learn

  • What a save-harmless law pays for, and where it stops
  • How immunity, the Coverdell Act and OSHA differ, and which question each one answers
  • Which protections reach you, in your state, at a public or a private school
  • How to judge, from real court cases, whether a teacher stayed inside their protection
  • How to write a one-page protection check for your own room

Seven lessons, six scenarios, a fillable one-page Protection Check, a 9-question quiz and the Science Safety Certificate.
