SAFETY PROGRAM

 

 

 

The Superintendent will cause the formation of the Joint Loss Management Committee as required by RSA 281-A:60 and a Crisis Management Plan that conforms to the national Incident Command System.

The practice of safety shall also be considered a facet of the instructional plan of the District schools by incorporating educational programs in traffic and pedestrian safety, driver education, fire prevention, emergency procedures, etc., appropriately geared to students at different grade levels.

Each Principal shall be responsible for the supervision and implementation of a safety program for his/her school. General areas of emphasis shall include, but not be limited to: in-service training; accident recordkeeping; plant inspection; driver and vehicle safety programs; fire prevention; catastrophe planning; and emergency procedures and traffic safety problems relevant to students and employees. The Superintendent, principal or designee shall be responsible for developing student safety procedures to be used on school buses, school grounds (including playgrounds), during authorized school activities (such as field trips), and within school building(s) (including classrooms and laboratories), off school grounds during school sanctioned activities (including, but not limited to, work-based learning and internships), and in the use of online resources.

 

In the case of an accident, the responsible party shall ensure that the accident is reported immediately to the designated staff member and the accident form is completed the day of any accident involving a student.

 

This procedure for accidents and accident reporting are to be reviewed in September by the Principals, and staff at each school.
