Chemical Use & Management
Chemicals are used by students, teachers, facility personnel, and administrative staff throughout schools: in science classrooms and laboratories; in art classrooms; in vocational shops such as autobody, auto repair,and printing; and in facility maintenance and operations such as cleaning, painting, and pest control. Thoughtful chemical purchasing and management contributes to a healthy school environment, so consider the possible health, safety and environmental implications before buying a particular chemical. Proper chemical use and management (storage, labeling, disposal) is critical for reducing chemical exposures and costly accidents which ultimately affect student learning and attendance.
