Description

Safety goggles are a required item for students during science labs.  The sterilization cabinet is designed for use in schools where reuse of laboratory safety goggles presents a health hazard. It provides dry sterilization using ultraviolet radiation. When the doors are closed and locked, the interior can be flooded with ultraviolet light. All bacteria or microorganisms within the cabinet are killed. The door has a key lock safety closure, and the ultraviolet lamp is automatically shut off when the doors are opened. A built-in 15-minute automatic timer controls the sanitizing period desired. 

Success of Program

Success will be achieved when every student receives clean, sterilized safety goggles for each science lab.

Implementation

The sterilization cabinet would allow science teachers to clean the goggles between classes so that every student receives bacteria-free goggles for use during science labs.
