=Appropriate Behaviour= Safety is a crucial concern when working in a Technological Design Lab. Accidents normally occur as a result of people’s carelessness, not through any fault of a machine. Working safely requires knowledge, concentration, mature responsible attitude, common sense, respect and for you to follow these safety rules at all times.

These rules are designed to protect the lab and your educational experience. Failure to comply can result in notification to your parents, and reduction in your lab priviledges.
