As we start the 2019-20 school year, schools are preparing to keep a clean and healthy environment. The District does not supply hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes. These products often contain alcohol or bleach and may cause skin and eye irritation or injury, intoxication, illness, and may be flammable. Schools that purchase or receive donations of these items are advised to take the following precautions:
- Obtain non-toxic products if possible
- Keep hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes locked up, inaccessible to students
- Obtain a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the manufacturer; usually by Googling the name brand, product SDS
- Keep the SDS on file and readily available for proper handling, protective equipment advisory, first aid, and other safety information
- Use these products with staff supervision
- Be aware of allergies and sensitivities
