[NMScience] Chemical Safety EPA resources

[Daniel, Maryjo, PED]

Check out the resources on the EPA website.

 

In kindergarten through grade 12 schools across the nation, students and
school personnel use chemicals every day to learn, to create, and to
maintain facilities.  But when chemicals aren't carefully managed, they
can put students and school personnel at risk from spills, fires, and
other accidental exposures.

 

I am happy to announce that, with the release of a new educational
video, Safe Chemical Management in Your School, the Environmental
Protection Agency and its partners are making kindergarten through grade

12 schools safer places to learn, work, and play.

 

EPA has teamed up with schools and community partners in Rhode Island,
Colorado, and Wyoming to bring models of responsible chemical management
programs to schools across the country.

 

For more information on responsible chemical management in schools and
to watch the new video, Safe Chemical Management in Your School please

visit: www.epa.gov/SC3.  In addition to identifying steps to build a
responsible chemical management program, the video features real life
examples of schools and their community partners that are working
towards permanent chemical management solutions.
