Construction projects at schools can create a variety of new hazards for employees, students and visitors.

For example:

• Construction materials can create trip hazards
• Increased parking lot traffic can pose danger to pedestrians
• Work can create noise and air quality issues

That’s why SFM’s loss prevention staff created a new resource to help schools keep employees safe throughout construction projects. The checklist includes advice to consider while planning and preparing for the project, as well as tips to maintain safety as the project is ongoing.

You can download the school construction safety checklist in the resource catalog.
