The Board authorizes the development of a comprehensive hazardous chemical communication program consistent with state and federal law for the school district to disseminate information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace. The program will consist of material safety data sheets, container labeling, chemical inventories, and employee training and transmittal of the program to applicable employees, the community, and Emergency Response personnel.
Each school district employee should review this information about hazardous substances as needed. Further, each time a new school district employee is hired, the information and training if necessary, shall be included in the orientation of the employee. Each time an additional hazardous substance enters the workplace, information about it shall be distributed and training shall be conducted for the appropriate employees. The Director of Staff Development shall maintain a file indicating when all training and informing takes place.
It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent to develop processes to implement and monitor this program. Information about the program will be made available upon request during regular business hours.
