The Board authorizes the development of a comprehensive hazardous chemical communication program for the District to disseminate information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
Each District employee shall review this information about hazardous substances annually. Further, when a new District employee is hired, the information and training, if necessary, shall be included in the orientation of the employee. When an additional hazardous substance enters the workplace, information about it shall be distributed and training shall be conducted for the appropriate employees. The Superintendent shall maintain a file indicating when training and informing takes place.
District personnel who will be instructing or otherwise working with students shall disseminate information about the hazardous chemicals they will be working with as part of the instructional program. District personnel are required to disseminate the information when the materials are used in the instructional program.
It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent to develop administrative regulations regarding this program. See 804.5R1 for details. Program records shall be available for review upon request.
