The board authorizes the development of a comprehensive hazardous chemical communication program for the district to disseminate information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

Each employee shall review information about hazardous substances. When a new employee is hired or transferred to a new position or worksite, this information and training, if necessary, shall be included
in the employee’s orientation. When an additional hazardous substance enters the workplace, information about it shall be distributed, and training shall be conducted for the appropriate employees. The superintendent/designee will maintain a file indicating which hazardous substances are present in the workplace and when training and information sessions take place.

District personnel who will be instructing or otherwise working with students shall disseminate information about the hazardous chemicals they will be working with as part of the instructional program.

The superintendent/designee shall develop administrative regulations regarding this program.
