In my mind, there's a connecting article between the NGSS lack of concern for teaching chemical safety and the discussions at the DCHAS sessions last week in C&EN this week:
Bringing research into teaching labs
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cen.acs.org_articles_94_i11_Bringing-2Dresearch-2Dteaching-2Dlabs.html&d=BQIFAg&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=fTCKuqwo3uE9kU1a1hlMmiOxi49vquZCivAzl-NaMzU&s=eLtnZZ5wX38P1F8CmnDCFjKSSd4llgs1jQtvOlzWXzk&e=

It points out the trend away from a focus on teaching proficiency in the undergrad lab in favor of "scientific question". No mention of safety education in the process, but lots of PPE in the accompanying pictures...
