Pollution Prevention (P2) for
Agricultural and Vocational Educators

Using these guidelines will help educators and managers of teaching laboratories examine how they currently prevent pollution and manage waste and make decisions on how to improve. 

The audit is divided into sections by teaching area; some areas have overlapping issues. General concepts apply to all teaching areas. Preferred practices are included in each section. 

If you suspect a hazardous waste problem, contact local assistance or authorities to promptly address the issue and protect personal and environmental health and safety. 

The guidelines are broad-based to cover all programs, if you have special needs or require further technical support, please contact the Peaks to Prairies Center for further assistance or referral. Good luck!
