πΈ Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls: Student Safety Initiative 2026
Every year, slips, trips, and falls (STF) remain the leading cause of injuries among both students and adults in schools. These incidents are often preventable, and raising awareness is the first step toward creating a safer school environment for everyone.
To address this, we are excited to launch a Student Safety Initiative in collaboration with the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC). This initiative aims to empower students to recognize common hazards and take proactive steps to prevent accidents among their peers.
