Safe School Inspections

The OEHS Facility Inspections Program conducts routine inspections in all District facilities. The inspections are conducted to identify potential health and safety risks and assess compliance with regulatory requirements. OEHS has issued the Safe School Inspection Guidebook - 2008 Revision (*.pdf)  in order to assist school administrators in complying with applicable health and safety standards. The school community is invited to review the Guidebook and may search for specific subjects by keyword (see below). Visitors to the OEHS website may also review school inspection results for a particular school.

Construction Safety Inspections  

Many existing schools are undergoing modernization or other construction activity. Construction projects are designed to minimize disruption of school operations and ensure the health and safety of students and staff. However, in the event that construction activity creates a condition that potentially places school occupants at risk, notification should be made to the Project Manager and OEHS. For further information, refer to Safety Alert No. 04-09, Safety Precautions for Staff at School Sites under Construction (*.pdf).
