Abstract

Biosafety sets the necessary parameters and guidelines to all educational levels when it comes to performing Natural Sciences-related experimental practical activities in the laboratory and in the field, in order to minimize the risks of accidents when handling animals, sharp objects and toxic substances. Aiming at knowing future Science and Biology teachers’ conceptions about Biosafety applicability, we analyzed conceptual maps and answers to questions regarding cautions and alternatives related to experimental practices. It was found that the subject is little explored during teachers’ trainings. It is necessary to enlarge the knowledge on the subject during the training periods or do it by means of guidelines that discuss and guide teachers and students in the fundamental and/or higher education levels on caution procedures to minimize accident risks and set alternatives to teaching activities in practical classes.
