Supplements and Acknowledgments

The checklists were developed only for hazards covered by current Federal regulations. It was beyond the scope of this project to include checklists for unregulated environmental, safety, and health hazards. A career-technical program or course may still contain hazards, even if all of the checklists indicate good compliance. In Appendix A: (Resource Agencies and Organizations), an effort was made to locate resources for additional information about some of the hazards not covered by regulations.

The completion of the checklists is not mandatory, but they are recommended as one tool that can greatly increase your school's ability to maintain a classroom that is safe for teachers and students.

Self-inspection checklists are only one of many elements that need to be in place to protect people and the environment. Other essential elements include management commitment, employee and student training and involvement, student safety and health competency testing, established procedures to follow in an emergency, and a coordinated effort to eliminate any hazards that are found. Many of these topics are discussed in Chapter 2: How to Establish an Effective Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Safety Program. Suggestions for involving students are covered in the Appendix B: Using the Safety Checklists to Teach Students About Occupational Safety and Health.

The checklists address only regulations that are directly related to career-technical classroom programs and courses. For example, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA) regulations issued by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) covering management of asbestos-containing materials in schools are not addressed in this manual (although checklists and regulations pertaining to asbestos in brake linings are covered). These regulations are relevant to schools in general but are not directly related to career-technical programs and courses. On the other hand, the hazardous waste disposal and electrical checklists and others can be used in other programs and classrooms.

The checklists are designed to cover environmental, safety, and health regulations that are potentially applicable to public career-technical classroom settings on school grounds. Non-school, non-classroom situations and locations, such as cooperative education programs at the worksite, were not specifically considered in the development of the checklists. However, many of the checklists and regulations apply to these other situations.

Although important safety and health regulations need to be considered in adult career-technical education classes and science classes, these checklists have not been developed with these target classes in mind. Many of the checklists, however, also apply to these areas.

State and municipal regulations were not included because they are different for each State and community. In addition, an effort was made to make the checklists as comprehensive as possible without being excessively long and cumbersome. As a result, the fine details of some regulations have been generalized or consolidated. In addition, constant changes in regulations, legitimate differences in interpretation, court decisions, and unanticipated circumstances prevent any self-inspection checklists from guaranteeing compliance with all regulations.

NIOSH Safety Checklist Program for Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Safety was adapted in September 2002 from a manual entitled Safe Schools: a Health and Safety Check — A Manual of Checklists Covering Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations for Secondary Occupational and Career Orientation Programs in New Jersey Public Schools. This manual was developed in 1992 by: The Public Education and Risk Communication Division, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute. Sponsored by University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey with support from the New Jersey Department of Education, and the Office of School-to-Career and College Initiatives. The New Jersey Department of Education has continued to support its commitment to ensuring safe schools by updating the Safe Schools Manual twice a year and providing information and training to school personnel.

To ensure that the Safe Schools manual addressed the needs of New Jersey educators and administrators, over two hundred individuals participated in all phases of its development. We are indebted to these individuals for their valuable contributions.

• A task force, with representatives from New Jersey public secondary school Career-Technical programs, regulating agencies, unions, health and safety organizations and businesses, was formed to provide ongoing guidance.
• Two focus group meetings with Career-Technical educators and NJ Department of Education staff gave valuable feedback on drafts of the manual.
• A written needs assessment survey was completed by over 100 teachers.
• The checklists were pre-tested at several schools with teachers and administrators accompanying project staff after school hours on walkthrough inspections of their classrooms.
• A planning group comprised of school administrators and teachers was convened to provide guidance in the pilot-test and training procedures.
• A pilot-test of the manual was done in 12 schools selected for their broad range of ethnic, geographical and socio-economic backgrounds.

Special thanks are extended to program staff of the N.J. Department of Education and the Northeast Curriculum Coordination Center, as well as to Stanley Grajewski and Robert Rossow who gave of their time and expertise throughout the project. We also would like to thank John H.S. Fallon and Roger Marcotte for their thorough review of the checklists, Martha Koblish, Mercer County Vocational-Technical School–Sypek Center for hosting the pilot-test training workshop, and the following schools for hosting the "Safe Schools Training Workshops": Linden High School–Vocational Technical Building; Monmouth County Vocational-Technical School; and Gloucester County Institute of Technology.
