Teachers of prekindergarten
through high school and other district personnel must receive training on the
Hazards Communications Act prior to working with hazardous materials or in areas with hazardous materials. Teachers new to the profession must receive safety training
before they work with or in the area containing hazardous chemicals; however
district personnel changing assignments only require training on hazardous
materials not covered in their initial training and updates.
Any teacher who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals should receive
training. TEA recommends a refresher for teachers each year.
