Health & Safety Rules in Schools
Schools set up health and safety rules in schools to make sure the student body as well as the school officials are kept both safe and healthy while attending school and getting their education or while teaching. Without such rules, the school would not be able to run a safe and healthy environment.
Building Safety Rules
Every school has rules regarding building safety; these rules are put in place to make sure every student and adult are safe while in the building. These rules may include what material can and cannot be used while building the school. Building safety rules do not come from the school itself rather by rules that OSHA puts in place.
Activity Rules
These rules the school puts in place to ensure safety while activities in the building and outside the building are taking place. These rules may include rules on handling equipment the proper way, no fighting, walking in the hallway as well as rules regarding the safety of before and after school including sports that may take place on the schools property.
