Are you familiar with the OSHA Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP)? As stated in the article the CHP provides ‘procedures and operations for the purchase, use, storage, and recycling of hazardous chemicals.’ If you are thinking of purchasing chemical you should know the life cycle of that chemical as the article says ‘from cradle to grave.’ This is important but how often are chemicals purchased by a specific teacher and then the teacher leaves that school and the chemical behind.
