This is the third of three volumes of a safety guide developed to assist Kansas administrators and teachers in organizing, evaluating, and maintaining safety programs. It provides information to help them identify, assess, and correct unsafe conditions relating to equipment and facilities and ensure a safe and healthy environment for themselves and students. The guide delineates areas to be considered in designing effective, ongoing safety awareness programs and provides technical information regarding the systematic development of those programs. Instruments for self-evaluation, reporting, and record keeping are included for assessment purposes. This volume addresses these topics: (1) portable power equipment (small appliances, industrial portable power equipment), (2) hand-held tools and utensils (hand tools for elementary school use, hand-held tools and utensils for secondary school use, tools and utensils, scientific implements), (3) compressed air and compressed gas equipment, (4) personal protective equipment, (5) health and environmental control, (6) hazardous materials, (7) chemicals, (8) fire protection, and (9) school facilities.
