To teach chemistry thoroughly, safety should be taught as an integral portion of the curriculum. However, acquiring the funding to incorporate safety-related material can be difficult. We present some innovative ways to gain the necessary funding and suggest some appropriate reference material for secondary-school chemistry departments.
