Regulations addressing how to safely dispose of chemicals that are high risk, unwanted, or in excess at a school are confusing and challenging. In this webinar we will review the laws that govern hazardous waste disposal to help science teachers, schools and districts operate in compliance and safely. Resources and contacts to help navigate these challenging regulations will be provided. Thursday, March 28, 2024 1:30 - 2:30 EST with Q&A from 2:30 - 3:00

Chemicals located in science stockrooms must be stored correctly to minimize risk of fire, inadvertent chemical reactions and overall safety of teachers, students and the school. Join us to learn chemical compatibility storage strategies and general safety improvement tips for your stockroom. Thursday, April 4, 2024 1:30 - 2:30 EST with Q&A from 2:30 - 3:00

Safety data sheets are an excellent resource to help you evaluate the risk of a chemical before you decide to use it in school. They can also be difficult to interpret. In this webinar we will take a "deep dive" approach to the information contained in safety data sheets and the sections that will be most helpful to you as you made decisions on chemicals to use in the classroom or the school facility.

OSHA requires a Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for labs. Due to its focus on chemical safety, all areas of schools with chemicals should participate in its development. We will discuss topics required in the CHP, how coordination throughout the schools is required for certain aspects of the CHP, and review examples and templates to help you write this required document.
