Toolkit for Safe Chemical Management in K-12 Schools

EPA's web-based tool kit helps schools start chemical management programs that will improve their chemical management practices by:
  • Removing inappropriate, outdated, unknown and unnecessary chemicals from schools;
  • Preventing future chemical mismanagement issues in schools through training, curriculum and policy change, and long-term management solutions; and
  • Raising awareness of chemical issues in schools and promoting sustainable solutions.
