Hazardous Substances

All toxic substances are kept out of the reach of students in locked cabinets. Medical supplies and medications will not be stored in the same storage cabinet with toxic substances. All toxic substances are labeled with contents and antidote. The telephone number for the Poison Control Center is clearly posted near the telephone in each Nurses’ Station, in each supervisor’s office, and in the Emergency Manual.
Over the counter and/or prescription medication may not be stored in staff’s clothing or in personal possessions on campus. All medications for staff’s personal use must be stored in a secure, locked area.
