Which policy would govern the control and use of hazardous substances?

• A. Policy 111
• B. Code White
• C. Policy 217
• D. Policy 601

Answer: (C)

Policies that govern hazardous substances are about how these materials are controlled and used to keep people safe. This includes rules for procurement, labeling, storage, handling, training, and procedures for spills, disposal, and ensuring employees have access to safety information like safety data sheets.

Policy 217 is the one that covers hazardous substances management, so it sets the requirements for how these materials are stored, who can access them, what training is needed, and how to respond to spills or exposure. The other options focus on different topics—Code White is typically an emergency or medical/behavioral code, while the other policies usually address unrelated areas. So Policy 217 is the best choice because it directly addresses the control and use of hazardous substances.
