APS Selected for Chemical Safety Pilot Collaborative APS has been selected to participate in a collaborative pilot program to evaluate the feasibility of developing a comprehensive chemical and waste management services program with a focus on chemical use and waste reduction efforts. Nationwide there is growing recognition that hazardous materials in schools represent a risk that must be reduced. Developing effective systems and processes to meet this critical need without depleting funds needed for education represents a significant challenge for school districts. To develop an effective system, APS will collaborate with The Chemical Strategies Partnership, a nonprofit consulting, education and research organization whose mission is to reduce chemical use, waste, risks and cost through transforming the chemical supply chain and redefining the way chemicals are bought, sold and used. This project supports APS' commitment to environmental stewardship and safety for its students and employees and will help create a best-in-class chemical and waste management system. This pilot program is fully supported by funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). National Safety Council - Safety Tip of the Week
