Risk Management
-
Risk Management is dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for students, staff, and our surrounding communities. Our mission is to foster an atmosphere that supports achievement by instilling confidence in the safety of our schools.
It's often said that everyone is a risk manager. This means that when we observe unsafe behavior, it’s crucial to intervene to prevent harm to ourselves or others. At the same time, it’s equally important to acknowledge and commend safe practices. Recognizing and reinforcing safe behavior helps ensure that we all go home at the end of the day as healthy as we arrive.
Please stay aware of your surroundings and the tools you are using. Make sure you are using the appropriate tools for your tasks and that they are in good working order.
If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Risk Management team. We are here to support you and ensure a safe environment for everyone.
