SAFETY PROGRAM
A safe and healthy workplace not only protects workers from injury and illness, it can also lower
injury/illness costs, reduce absenteeism and turnover, increase productivity and quality, and raise
employee morale. In other words, safety is good for business. Plus, protecting workers is the
right thing to do.
Safety Rule
A principle or regulation governing actions, procedures or devices intended to lower the
occurrence or risk of injury, loss and danger to persons, property or the environment.
1. You are responsible for your safety and the safety of those around you.
2. Accidents are preventable.
3. Take pride in safety, the same way you take pride in the fruits of your work.
4. Understand all hazards before approaching a task. Prepare accordingly with PPE and
proper procedures.
5. Authorized access only—stay clear unless you are properly trained.
6. Ask questions until you are completely confident in your ability to safely perform a task.
7. A clean worksite is a safer worksite; ensure your work environment is properly cleaned
before proceeding with a task.
8. A well-maintained machine is a safer machine; always follow proper maintenance
guidelines.
9. Do it right or don’t do it at all. Use only the right tools. Use them only in the right way.
10. Safety is a shared goal and a shared effort
1. Get a check-up
Make sure your children have been seen by their primary care physician within the past year to
check their health and discuss any concerns, such as allergies or nutrition.
Under the California School Immunization Law, children are required to receive certain
immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, child care
centers and other educational programs
Let the school know of any medications your child takes, both at home and at school, as well as
any medical conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, allergies or psychological issues. Be sure to
provide contact information for your pediatrician along with medical emergency instructions.
Remind your children not to talk to strangers and never to get into a stranger's car, no matter
what the circumstances. Choose a "code word" that only you, your children and trusted friends
and family members know in case someone else has to pick them up, and instruct your children
never to trust anyone who doesn't know the code word.Teach your children their address and
phone number to contact you. Instruct them to find a parent, teacher or other trusted adult
immediately if they don't feel safe.
Familiarize your family with the school's emergency procedures, and provide current contact
information for parents and other relatives. Decide on a meeting point near the school where you
can meet your child in case of emergency if you cannot reach him or her by telephone. If your
child is old enough to use a cell phone, it may be a good idea to provide one that is reserved only
for urgent situations.
Does your child ride a bike to school? Helmet use can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85
percent. Choose a helmet that meets federal safety standards and fits correctly. According to
the National Safety Council, a helmet should fit low and snug across the forehead. If you look up
and can't see the helmet, it's too far back.
A backpack that's too heavy or worn incorrectly can strain a child's neck or back and may cause
injury. Backpacks should be lightweight with two wide, well-padded shoulder straps, a padded
back and a waist strap. Pull both straps tightly enough so that the pack fits snugly against the
back, but doesn't pull on the shoulders. Distribute the weight of items within the pack evenly on
both sides, and keep it light.
8. Stand up to bullying
Bullying is a serious problem, yet many victims don't speak up for fear of ridicule or retaliation.
If you suspect your child is a victim of bullying, encourage him or her to tell you what is going
on. Ask questions and offer support and comfort.
Sports and extra-curricular activities help kids learn skills, socialize and have fun, but too much
of a good thing can become stressful and ultimately negate the benefits.
With everyone on busy schedules, it can be difficult to find time to sit and talk with your kids.
Practice:
1. Establish emergency procedures Familiarize your family with the school's emergency
procedures, and provide current contact information for parents and other relatives. Decide on a
meeting point near the school where you can meet your child in case of emergency if you cannot
reach him or her by telephone. If your child is old enough to use a cell phone, it may be a good
idea to provide one that is reserved only for urgent situations.
2.Make helmets a must Does your child ride a bike to school? Helmet use can reduce the risk of
head injury by up to 85 percent. Choose a helmet that meets federal safety standards and fits
correctly. According to the National Safety Council, a helmet should fit low and snug across the
forehead. If you look up and can't see the helmet, it's too far back.
3.Avoid backpack overload A backpack that's too heavy or worn incorrectly can strain a child's
neck or back and may cause injury. Backpacks should be lightweight with two wide, well-
padded shoulder straps, a padded back and a waist strap. Pull both straps tightly enough so that
the pack fits snugly against the back, but doesn't pull on the shoulders. Distribute the weight of
items within the pack evenly on both sides, and keep it light.
4.Stand up to bullying Bullying is a serious problem, yet many victims don't speak up for fear
of ridicule or retaliation. If you suspect your child is a victim of bullying, encourage him or her
to tell you what is going on. Ask questions and offer support and comfort.
5.Set reasonable schedules Sports and extra-curricular activities help kids learn skills, socialize
and have fun, but too much of a good thing can become stressful and ultimately negate the
benefits.
