dc.description.abstractA flexible strategy to improve students’ general knowledge of safety for a second-year inorganic chemistry laboratory was implemented at Griffith University. The strategy used an online interactive revision Safety Quiz Template, that was device agnostic and thus flexible for students and academics. Details of the design process, technical aspects of the implementation of the Safety Quiz Template using PebblePadTM and analysis of submissions for 2018–19 are compared (Loughlin W.A., Cresswell S.L. J. Chem. Educ. 2021, 98, 218–23). Results showed that low numbers of students (18%) achieved 100% correct completion of the Safety Quiz Template with their first submission. However, most students (98%) could achieve 100% correct completion by their third submission and implementation appeared to contribute to improved student knowledge and safe behaviour in the laboratory sessions. The most noticeable aspect of the implementation of a Safety Quiz Template was the identified need for upper-undergraduate chemistry students to revise their safety knowledge regularly and actively for chemistry laboratory environments, beyond any safety training received in first year. Analysis of the student responses revealed the areas for improvement of laboratory safety in second-year undergraduate chemistry included basic chemical knowledge of solvents, maintenance of proper PPE and correct identification of safety equipment.
