SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Lindsay Unified School District is committed to maximizing employee safety. Our policies and procedures are designed to achieve this goal.

INJURY & ILLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM (IIPP)

The Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) describes the goals, statutory authority, and the responsibilities of all employees under the program. By making employee safety a high priority for every employee, we can reduce injuries and illnesses, increase productivity, and promote a safer and healthier environment for all individuals at Lindsay Unified School District.

The Department Head or his/her qualified designee will investigate all accidents, injuries, occupational illnesses, and near-miss incidents to identify the root cause. Appropriate repairs or procedural changes will be implemented promptly to correct the hazards or behaviors implicated in these events.

Employees are encouraged to bring to the District’s attention any potential health or safety hazard that may exist in the work area. The attached Employee Safety Recommendation form can be used for this purpose.

WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM (WVPP)

The Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) ensures that Lindsay Unified provides a safe environment for employees and the public, free from threats, intimidation, harassment, retaliation, and violence. Every employee is responsible for practicing safety, following policies and procedures, and maintaining a secure workplace.

In the event of encountering workplace violence, individuals are encouraged to utilize available resources, such as the LUSD Violence Incident Form. By completing this form and submitting to the Human Resources Department, individuals ensure that appropriate measures are taken to address their concerns and maintain a safe working environment for everyone.
