Safety Contracts - First of all - you probably would be better off call
ing it "safety acknowledgement form" in lieu of "safety contract!" Th
e idea is that you are informing the students or having them acknowledge th
e fact that the lab is a dangerous place to work and in order to make it sa
fer - (not "safe!"), they must follow the legal and best professional pract
ices you are providing.
Relative to the time for h
olding the items - The statute of limitations for negligence in most states
is 3 years for the date of the harm. Hope this helps -<
