School IPM Tool Kit Food Services Staff Checklist Instructions Name: 1. Read the information on this sheet. Room/Area: 2. Check the appropriate "Yes" or "No" boxes. School: 3. Write any items needing attention in the places provided at the end of each section. Signature: 4. Return completed checklist to the IPM coordinator. It is the policy of this school district to manage pest problems in ways that pose the least hazard to human health and the environment. To this end, we have adopted an integrated pest management (IPM) program. IPM combines pest prevention, non-chemical pest control methods, and the appropriate use of pesticides that are the least harmful to human health and the environment. By addressing and correcting the root causes of pest problems, IPM can provide long-term, economical pest control and minimize the risk of pesticide exposure. We are asking for your cooperation with our IPM program! The success of IPM depends on the involvement of many individuals. Students, teachers, school staff, administration, and parents are all participants in the IPM program. Together we can help reduce pest problems and pesticide applications. Do not put pressure on school staff to apply pesticides; there are other effective means of controlling pest problems. You can have a positive impact on our goal to reduce pest problems by completing the following checklist as indicated by your IPM coordinator. Food handling and preparation areas are among the most critical areas for pest management. It is essential that kitchen staff practice good sanitation and proper food storage and play an active role in implementing the IPM program.
