HEALTH & SAFETY

For nearly 6 hours each day and up to 13 essential years of their social, psychological, physical, and intellectual development, schools have direct contact with more than 95 percent of our country’s young people aged 5 to 17. Schools play an essential role in supporting children’s and teenagers’ health and safety by assisting them in developing lifetime health habits.

With the ever-changing landscape of school safety, empowering our educators to respond in times of crisis and to support students in situations they have never trained or signed up for can be a monumental task. Here at Regional Safety Services we want to help strengthen staff members’ ability to respond through training and drilling in order to keep their schools safe.

Safety Planning

In all aspects of building safety and security, a good foundation for response is having a good plan. Whether it’s reunification, protective actions, arrival and dismissal or district specific challenges, we can help.

Drilling and Auditing

Plans on paper must translate to action and response. These should be practiced and drilled in order to evaluate their effectiveness. The best evaluation comes from an objective perspective, which we can provide.

Emergency Response

Despite your best planning and mitigating efforts, crises and emergencies will arise. In the event that they do, staff can rely on their training. Let us work with your team to build confidence in their ability to respond to whatever crisis they encounter.

Health and Safety in the Workplace

New York State requires employers to have written policies, plans, and mandated trainings for the health and wellness of their staff and students. Our services can help you evaluate and meet the needs, so that a district not only achieves the standards, but exceeds them.
