Safety Talks
Safety Talks are brief reminders that encourage and teach school district staff to work safely. Our goal is to prevent accidents and employee injuries. New Safety Talks will be posted each month! Feel free to send them out as email reminders, print and share them during staff meetings or post them in staff lounges, custodial closets, shops and transportation buildings.
Thank you for your commitment to safety!
