Charlotte County Public Schools

Every claim, from minor incidents to major events, diverts valuable resources away from our primary mission: educating students. To minimize these losses, we must all become active participants in creating a culture of safety and awareness.

As members of a diverse and distributed organization, you have a unique understanding of your work environment. If you observe a safety hazard, witness a near-miss incident, or have any safety concerns, please report them promptly to both Risk Management and your building or department’s maintenance team. Your vigilance can prevent future incidents and protect our resources.

Workers' Compensation claims represent a significant expense for our district. To minimize these costs and ensure the well-being of our employees, we all have a responsibility to:

• Complete required safety training.
• Adhere to all safety policies and procedures.
• Practice safe work habits and use common sense.

We're here to support you during an injury, but preventing accidents is our shared goal. Let's prioritize safety in everything we do.
