H3SAcademy has put into place strict safety protocols, including providing detailed instructions to students on safe handling and disposal of allergens, providing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, and ensuring that all experiments and activities are conducted under the supervision of qualified staff members.

Failure to disclose relevant information may increase the risk to your child’s health.
5. Emergency Procedures
In the event that your child experiences an allergic reaction during an activity, H3SAcademy staff will follow established emergency procedures, which include the immediate cessation of the activity, administration of any provided emergency medication, and contact with medical services if necessary. You will be notified immediately of any incident involving your child.
6. Assumption of Risk

You understand that despite all safety measures, there is still a possibility that your child could be exposed to allergens that may cause an allergic reaction.
