District Science Lab/Chemical Clean Up
One-time disposal opportunity!
Principals:
Jordan District is initiating a science lab review, clean up and sign off to ensure the safety of teachers and students as well as mitigating expensive disposal fees.
The district is offering a one-time disposal opportunity for chemicals that are expired and/or no longer used requiring specialized disposal.
Most of the chemicals in schools can be safely disposed of on site as long as appropriate protocols are followed. Understanding that some teachers may not feel comfortable disposing of certain chemicals without some verification and/or support, experienced teachers are happy to help. Simply reach out to Jane Harward and arrangements will be made.
The final deadline for lab review, clean up and sign off is June 11th, 2021. Sign offs can occur anytime between now and then. Early signoff is highly encouraged and appreciated.
Science teams can refer to the following process to guide their work.
- Take inventory of all chemicals and ensure they are stored in appropriate/required locations.
- Safely dispose of chemicals and materials that are expired or no longer used.
- Reference Resources:
- Teams that would like guidance or help via phone, email or in person visits just need to email Jane Harward and arrangements will be made for you.
- Update SDS books with current sheets.
- The MSDS books are outdated and need to be replaced with new SDS books and sheets.
- If you need a new SDS book please email Jeff Beesley.
If chemicals are identified requiring specialized disposal please contact Jane Harward and Jeff Beesley.
When all tasks are complete and the lab is ready for sign off please email Jane Harward and Jeff Beesley.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and help.
