Chemical Hygiene Plan

The Chemical Hygiene Plan has been developed to establish safety procedures for all classrooms and laboratories in Albemarle County Public Schools that store or use potentially hazardous chemicals.  The procedures and guidelines in this plan apply to all areas where hazardous chemicals are used and stored, including, but not limited to, science, art, and photography instructional areas.  More specifically, this plan has been established in order to:

• Provide employees and students of Albemarle County Public Schools with guidelines and information for conducting safe work practices with hazardous chemicals.
• Standardize the safety procedures, guidelines, and practices used within Albemarle County Public Schools' laboratories and chemical storage areas.
• Provide information and training to all appropriate teachers concerning specific hazards of chemicals used and stored in their classrooms and laboratories.
