SafeSchools is an online safety training and tracking system designed specifically for school employees.
Program Details
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.
Note: On March 24 the SafeSchools on-line training program training will have a new name and logo. The new product name will be Vector Training, K-12 Edition. Your current process for logging in to complete your assigned training will not change. You will continue to login as you always have on your district’s training web site. The product itself is not changing and there will be no disruptions to any current training assignments or reporting of your completed training.
Clock hours are available for Southwest Washington Workers’ Compensation Trust member district employees. Click on the Clock Hour Checklist tab for more information.
