About SafeSchools
All SafeSchools courses are set in a school environment and are authored by leading school safety specialists. Courses include topics in nutritional services, health, employee and student safety, human resources, transportation, informational technology, social and behavioral, environmental, security, special education, and emergency management.
This training program is provided to member districts of the Southwest Washington Workers’ Compensation Trust and Southwest Washington Risk Management Insurance Cooperative because it is our goal to encourage safe work habits, reduce employee injuries and protect school districts from unnecessary costs related to other liability issues.
Clock hours are available for Southwest Washington Workers’ Compensation Trust member district employees. Click on the Clock Hour Checklist tab for more information.

Directions For 2020-21 school year:

You may need to change the default beginning date by clicking on the calendar. The earliest beginning date would be August 1, 2020. The ending date will default to the log-in date.
- Once submitted your hours will be verified and will record on your pdEnroller transcript. If your district is a member of the ESD Clock Hour Cooperative, you do not pay for clock hours.
- You may earn up to ten clock hours per school year (one hour minimum).
