The Monthly Safety Meeting topic for October is Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). Now is a great time to update your district’s IIPP and remind your employees where the program is located!
The Monthly Safety Meeting topic for September is Reporting Employee Accidents. For FCSIG members, we have attached Tristar’s First Notice Reporting poster. It’s important that all employees call the Nurse Triage Hotline to report all work-related injuries and illnesses. For non-FCSIG members, please review your district’s employee accident reporting procedures with all staff.
The Monthly Safety Meeting topic for August is Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) Awareness. Please share the attached Safety Spotlight with employees.
Each month we will be sending out a 1-2-page Safety Spotlight handout on the upcoming monthly safety meeting topic.

On September 29, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill 1405. This bill makes amendments to the Healthy Schools Act (HSA) which went into effect on January 1, 2015. Under the new law, school sites (licensed child care centers and public K-12 schools) must develop an Integrated Pest Management Plan or use the integrated pest management (IPM) plan template provided by the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to develop an IPM plan for their school site or school district. This IPM plan must be posted on the district’s or school site’s Web site and/or sent out to all parents, guardians, and staff with the annual pesticide notice.
