"Take a breather - How to avoid toxins in the workplace." New York Teacher
New York State United Teachers saw a need for educators to have a ready source of answers to these questions. After researching the issues, staffers developed health and safety checklists, weaving in recommendations from experts in the visual arts and sciences.
The checklists are on NYSUT's Web site at www.nysut.org.
'Use the checklist to see if you've got the right equipment, are using the least toxic materials and have effective safety procedures in place,' explained Wendy Hord, NYSUT health and safety specialist.
