Geneva is committed to providing a safe environment, and one that is free of physical hazards for all employees and students. Each staff and faculty member are an important participants in helping us achieve this objective.
All employees are expected to:
- Exhibit safe work behaviors at all times (serving as a role model to students and fellow employees in doing so).
- Exercise active concern in the course of their work to prevent injuries to themselves, colleagues and students.
- Take immediate steps to the extent prudent to report and/or remedy any unsafe condition (while not placing themselves or others in harm’s way in doing so).
- Adhere to all safety and security policies, protocols, procedures and practices as outlined in your Classroom Emergency Binder. Failure to do so may be grounds for discipline up to and including termination of employment.
All potentially hazardous or unsafe circumstances should be reported immediately to the Assistant HOS or the Facilities Manager. All workplace injuries should be reported immediately to the supervisor and Human Resources. All student injuries should be reported immediately to the supervisor and school nurse.
Classroom doors must remain locked and closed during the school day. Rather than propping doors during heavy traffic times including drop-off and pick-up, faculty are encouraged to greet students and visitors at the locked door and monitor admittance.
