Reasons For Not Passing The Initial Safety Check At The Science Fair

• Poster pages on the backboard are loosely attached and/or not laminated.
• Project information is presented as loose sheets of paper on the exhibit table.
• Parts of the experiment on display that are not allowed.
• CSA approved electrical devices from manufacturer have been modified - this negates the CSA stamp of approval and so device cannot be used or demonstrated.
• Flammable "stuff" is crammed underneath the exhibit table.
• A display exceeds the size regulations (height, width or depth)

Regulations related ONLY to the Canada Wide Science Fair Safety

• Title board is made of a material not acceptable for fire safety reasons.
• There is a difference of opinion about the interpretation of the safety and display rules at the local or regional science fair, compared to the national Canada Wide Science Fair.
