dc.description.abstractA study on chemical safety awareness among staff and students in secondary schools in Penang was conducted. Survey forms were given to staff and students in 20 chosen schools in all districts of Penang. The forms were collected safely. The surveys were done to determine the level of awareness and the elements that have the higher and lower awareness among staff and students. The awareness was tested using elements that involve laboratory management and chemical management, Personal Protective Equipments(PPE), safe procedure and practices, operational control methods, training and education, emergency and first aid, Chemical Safety Data Sheet, warning signs and recordkeeping. One Sample T-test and Independent T-test were used to obtain the overall level output for staff and students and to compare the output level for staff and students using SPSS software. Multiple Linear Regression was also done to strengthen the data analysis. The results show that students have low level of awareness in the elements of emergency and first aid, chemical management, warning signs and safe procedure and practices. Staff have low level of awareness in chemical management and operational control methods. This study also shows that staff and students have high awareness in the element of PPE and low awareness in the element of chemical management.en_US
