School Safety Committee Assistance

This coming year, we have planned a series of webinars focused on helping you design effective Safety Committees to:

  • Prevent unsafe practices and conditions
  • Reduce the risk of injury and illnesses
  • Help motivate employees and supervisors to become actively involved

December 21, 2022 (completed) : Starting (or rejuvenating) Your Safety Team: The who, what, why, when, how often, etc. of putting together a safety team (or rejuvenating the one you have). If you are starting from scratch, we suggest you form a sub-committee of your School Crisis Planning Team.

Other upcoming webinar topics include:

  • Safety Culture Dynamics
  • Lagging and Leading Indicators
  • Third Generation Safety
