← All Topics

The Franklin Township School Board is concerned for the safety of the students and staff members and will attempt to comply with all Federal and State statutes and regulations to protect them from hazards that may result from exposure to toxic chemicals used in the classroom as a part of an instructional program, as well as toxic chemicals used for cleaning or maintenance. The purpose of this policy is to minimize student and staff exposure to chemicals.

In order to reduce student and staff exposure to chemical hazards used or kept at the school corporation facilities, the Superintendent will be responsible for developing and implementing a plan for minimizing exposure to these toxic hazards.

The Superintendent will appoint an employee to serve as the Toxic Hazard Preparedness (THP) Officer who shall oversee the implementation of the Corporation’s Chemical Management/Toxic Hazards Plan. The plan may include provisions regarding inventory, purchasing, use, storage, disposal, and responses to spills or other accidents.

Nothing in this policy should be construed in any way as an assumption of liability by the Board for any death, injury, or illness that is the consequence of an accident or equipment failure or negligent or deliberate act beyond the control of the Board or its officers and employees.
