This module aims to inform education administrators, superintendents, principals, and educators about the necessity of appointing a Chemical Hygiene Officer (CHO) in every school. Participants will explore the legal mandates, roles, and responsibilities associated with CHOs, as well as the potential risks and liabilities of not having one. The course will also cover best practices for chemical management, including handling, storage, and disposal, and will provide case studies from schools in California and New York, where CHOs are legally required. Additional focus will be given to annual safety training and certification processes.
