NCESD All-In On Safety
Provided by the North Central ESD Safety Committee
New Tools Available for Reporting Concerns and Submitting Kudos
Reports can be submitted via:
- The web - using the intranet;
- Email;
- Phone - by calling a dedicated report hotline; or
- By sending a text.
A link to SafePersonnel Alert is now located under the "For Staff" tab on the NCESD Intranet site. Several School Districts in our service area have also started using the SafePersonnel Alert system and have added information and links to the new reporting tools to their District's website.
Safety Bulletin Board Receives a Complete Makeover
- A flow chart outlining what to do if you have an on-the-job injury; and
- A flip chart containing information about the location of important safety information and equipment such as the written Accident Prevention Plan (APP), Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), Shelter-in-Place Plan, first aid kits, automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), glass clean-up kits, step ladders, YakTrax, etc., has been added to the Safety Bulletin Board.
- Information on reporting accidents, close calls or near misses, safety hazards and safety suggestions.
Availability of New Step Ladders on Each Floor Help Get The Job Done Safer
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd Floors: In the Mechanical Rooms
- 4th Floor: In the Storage Room (next to the Laundry Room)
- Lower Level: In the Cage
- NCESD West: In the Workroom
Remember...
It's never safe to stand on chairs, desks, or tables to reach overhead. If you need to reach something overhead, please take time to get a stepladder so you can safely complete the task at hand.
Kits for Cleaning Up Broken Glass

Kits are available in the following locations:

To safely dispose of a used battery (AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt, etc.) you should cover the battery posts with a piece of masking, duct, or electrical tape before placing the battery into the battery recycle container.
Scent-Free Practice Helps Ensure Good Indoor Air Quality For Everyone
Scents from personal care products, air fresheners, candles and cleaning products, even in small amounts, can cause allergy and/or asthma problems for sensitive individuals.
In order to ensure a favorable working environment and sense of comfort, health, and well-being for all staff and visitors to the building, the Safety Committee requests that staff support the NCESD's efforts to be a Scent Free Agency by not using room sprays, scented candles, air fresheners or deodorizers inside the building and limiting the use of scented lotions and perfumes.
