OSHA mandates that every school district must have a designated CHO. Failure to comply can result in a severe financial penalty of $11,340. This is not just a recommendation; it’s an enforceable legal safety standard. 
 
Ask Yourself: 
  • Who do you call in case of a fire, chemical spill, or accident in your science or CTE labs? 
  • Who is responsible for annual safety training and chemical inventory management? 
  • Are you comfortable bearing personal responsibility for all lab accidents without a CHO? 
 
Safer STEM’s CHO Training Programs can help ensure your CHOs are well-trained and understand their legal responsibilities. We offer: 
  1. : Weekly live online sessions thru Dec 10, 2024
