Prevention Program SAFETY POLICY The safety and health of each employee is one of the district's primary concerns. It is the hope that all employees will enjoy a safe and productive work setting and return home each day to family and friends free from injury. Remember this safety principle - "No job is so important, and no service so urgent, that we cannot take time to perform our work safely." It is the policy of this school district to provide the safest possible work environment for its employees and to promote safe work practices at all times. The goal of the Safety and Health Program is to effectively manage the processes of occupational injury and illness prevention, and to aggressively eliminate the occurrence of unsafe conditions and at-risk behaviors. The school district will provide the necessary resources so you can perform your job in a safe manner. Employees are required to comply with all safety rules and are encouraged to participate in identifying ways to make our district a safer place to work. All personnel must recognize their responsibility to follow this safety policy and understand that accident prevention is as much their obligation as any other phase of their work. Your personal commitment to safety and health practices is reflected in how you perform your work assignments each day. By using proper safety equipment, looking out for coworkers, following safety instructions, attending training classes and reporting, preventing or eliminating unsafe conditions or practices before someone is injured, you help us meet the goals of this program. By accepting responsibility to perform our job safely, we all contribute to the wellbeing of fellow employees, and subsequently, the best interest of our district. 5 Accident Prevention Program SECTION 1: ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAM- PURPOSE This school district is committed to providing a safe and healthful environment for all students and employees.
