Randomized trial demonstrates improved spill response skills in students, indicating effective chemical safety education.

This study aims to develop a safe laboratory exercise for simulating mercury spills while educating students on chemical safety procedures.
Students engaged in spill simulations using nonhazardous plastic beads as a mercury surrogate.
Utilized a standard Chemizorb Hg Mercury Absorbent Kit for cleanup and response protocols.
Evaluated effectiveness through multiple pilot sessions with observed procedural fidelity and knowledge retention.
Achieved up to 95% procedural fidelity in spill response exercises.
Demonstrated a 25% reduction in completion time for cleanup activities.
Scored 92% correct on a knowledge retention test one week after training.

Jurowski et al. (2026) studied this question.
