From the demographic characteristics of the respondents, females outnumbered the males in the teaching of science subjects. Marital status likewise for women did not hamper their teaching career for their families served as their inspiration and source of added information especially to current science issues. The science teachers of Kalinga, Philippines perceived the importance of the different areas of science program management especially in the use of multimedia equipment in classroom teaching. This is followed on the teaching of skills and conce...

Methods: A sample size of 124 respondents, primarily females, were 10 faculty members, a University Official, and one hundred thirteen (113) students. A questionnaire was used to collect data which were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In the questionnaire, at least 32 questions were used with five sections: demographic data, different GHS pictograms, and approach to safety in chemical laboratories, the practice of students within the laboratory, and knowledge and familiarity with emergency equipment and procedures to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and practices on their familiarity and understanding of chemical hazards in the laboratories. In addition, a semi-structured interview was done after answering the questionnaires to gain deeper insight from the respondents on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices about safety while working in the laboratory. Findings: Descriptive statistics conveyed that students, faculty, and staff demonstrated poorly on familiarity and understanding of chemical hazards and warning symbols. Students displayed a poor attitude towards chemical safety but demonstrated fair responses to chemical safety practices. Though faculty and staff displayed fair attitudes towards chemical safety and practices, educational reinforcement and conduct of safety ethics and risk management in the chemical laboratory are recommended for the subjects in charge. The study concluded and recommended that an in-depth education and training need to be implemented for all university students on testing facilities, chemical safety devices, and other standard protocols encountered in the laboratory parallel to the suggestions and recommendations of fellow researchers in the field (1).
