Safety Training (required annual safety training for school personnel)
Ohio now requires annual safety training for all school employees under the Public School Employer's Risk Reduction Program (the public services counterpart to OSHA standards).  A little attention given to accident prevention can save a lot of dollars in BWC rates, lost time and productivity.
 
TCESC makes an On-line Training Program, which includes the following topics available to interested public employers at a nominal fee:

• PERRP Goals and Objectives
• Safety Planning and Procedures
• School Environment Accidents
• Accident Reporting and Analysis (including "close calls")
• Employees Responsibilities
• Emergency Evacuation
• Safety in the Workplace (including Safety Data Sheets and GHS)
• Tips for a healthier Existence
• Blood Bourne Pathogens
• The National Terrorism Advisory System
• Fire Extinguisher Instruction
