Founded by respected science educator, Linda M. Stroud, Ph.D., Science & Safety Consulting Services (S&SCS) offers insights and solutions based on 34 years of experience in K-12 schools /university education and over 300 hours of science laboratory safety education. She is a certified Chemical Hygiene Officer by the National Registry of Certified Chemists, (NRCC-CHO) as well as a National Safety Council Certified Bloodborne Pathogen Instructor. Dr Stroud holds certifications as a Manager of Environmental Safety and Health (MESH) and Advanced Safety. The MESH and Advanced Safety Programs are sponsored by the Safety & Health Council of NC, NC Department of Labor and the NC State University Industrial Extension Service. School safety is more than guns, knives and intruders. Many areas in our schools pose potential safety issues for staff and students. The safety program must be customized and comprehensive for each school and school system to provide a safe and healthy learning / working environment for all stakeholders. Schools are accountable for over 100 OSHA regulations-many requiring written programs and training for school staff. Written Hazard Communication-29 CFR 1910.1200, Chemical Hygiene-29 CFR 1910.1450, Blood borne Pathogens-29 CFR 1910.1030, and Emergency Action-29 CFR 1910.38 are just the basic required plans of our schools by either federal OSHA or state OSH programs. These plans also require training for school personnel. S&SCS is available to provide professional development in science safety for all school staff, assess school safety programs, and aid schools in the development of required written safety programs. For school systems to build a sustainable safety program, a Customized Comprehensive School Safety Program must be developed. Sustainability ultimately means that school systems must be able to provide continued professional training and updating in school safety for their school employees for themselves. S&SCS has developed a “School Safety Facilitators Course” to enable school systems to build their own sustainable safety programs. S&SCS is available to provide these specialized services for all schools / school systems in the US. |
