FACILITY and OCCUPANT
SAFETY PROGRAM
WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO
THIS?

enhances safety awareness and provides a more
conducive environment for learning. Adherence to the
Local, State and Federal codes and regulations included
in the plan assures that Craven County Schools are in
compliance with these rulings.

CRAVEN COUNTY SCHOOLS ASBESTOS AWARENESS PLAN
THERE IS AN ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR EACH
FACILITY IN THE CRAVEN COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS
PLAN IS LOCATED IN THE RECEPTION AREA OF EACH FACILITY
AND CAN BE ACCESSED UPON REQUEST. THE AHERA
NOTEBOOK CONTAINS INFORMATION ON ACTIONS TO INFORM
BUILDING OCCUPANTS ABOUT ASBESTOS THAT MAY BE
PRESENT IN THEIR FACILITY INCLUDING DETAILS ABOUT
INSPECTIONS, REINSPECTIONS, AND SURVEILLANCE
ACTIVITIES. THE DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE AND THE SAFETY
COORDINATOR ARE THE DESIGNATED CONTACT PERSONS FOR
THIS PLAN.

…EMPLOYEES HAVE BOTH A NEED AND “A RIGHT TO KNOW” THE
HAZARDS AND IDENTITIES OF THE CHEMICALS THAT THEY ARE
EXPOSED TO ON THE JOB. THEY NEED TO KNOW WHAT
PROTECTIVE MEASURES ARE AVAILABLE TO PREVENT ADVERSE
EFFECTS FROM OCCURRING.
OSHA 29CFR 1910.1200
EVERY HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL USED IN CRAVEN COUNTY SCHOOLS IS REQUIRED
TO HAVE A MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET. THIS SHEET CALLED THE MSDS IS KEPT
ON FILE AT EACH WORK LOCATION WHERE THE PRODUCT IS USED. AT A SCHOOL
THIS NOTEBOOK IS USUALLY IN THE MAIN OFFICE AND FREQUENTLY ONE IS KEPT
IN THE WORK AREA WHERE THE PRODUCT IS STORED OR USED.
AN INVENTORY LIST OF ALL HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS USED IN THE FACILITY
SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE FRONT OF THE MSDS NOTEBOOK.
ALL CHEMICAL CONTAINERS MUST CONTAIN A LABEL WITH THE NAME OF THE
CHEMICAL, APPROPRIATE HAZARD WARNINGS, AND THE NAME OF THE
MANUFACTURER. THIS REQUIRED LABELING ALSO APPLIES TO SECONDARY
CONTAINERS.
OLDER MSD SHEETS HAVE 9 SECTIONS. THE
MORE RECENT MSD SHEETS HAVE 16 SECTIONS.
