KY-A-Syst for the Home

Environmental Stewardship for Homeowners

Resources for Extension Agents
The Ky-A-Syst for the Home program is designed to help identify environmental health and safety risks in and around the home. Eleven easy to use self-assessment worksheets are available, as are teaching resources to accompany each. County Extension offices in Kentucky will receive a binder with copies of the teaching guides and evaluation instruments that are downloadable from this site. The resource notebook also includes handout pages from PowerPoint screen shows that are downloadable here. The publications are available through the order entry system, and the links below will take you to the web versions of each of the 11 documents.
