Project Description

Hazardous chemicals and materials have special requirements for handling and storage. This project will be utilized to expand storage capacities where necessary and replace storage containers in poor condition. Project activities include but are not limited to adding storage cabinets or other containers system-wide for the storage of hazardous chemicals including flammable materials, caustics, compressed gasses, hazardous wastes, batteries, or other similar materials. Expansion of facilities and shops as well as revised workplace safety policies and regulations will be funded under this project as needed. This is a multi-year, multi-phase project.
