Information
related
to preventing
recurrence
of problem
and maintaining
a chemical
management
strategy
- Chemical
management
by
inventory
control
should
be
a
priority
as
it
can
identify
and
potentially
prevent
accumulation
of
unwanted
chemicals
while
eliminating
some
of
the
more
toxic
and/or
hazardous
types.
Use
of
this
concept
can
reduce
disposal
costs
and
regulatory
liability,
and
foster
a
safer
school
environment.

of
chemical
management
plans
and
inventory
methods
can
