We have recently completed a safety inspection in partnership with San Mateo County Schools Insurance Group (SMCSIG). Please review the key takeaways below and submit a maintenance ticket if you need assistance. Feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.
Heavy objects (greater than 20lbs) should be stored below 42" or 3'6".
Walls should not be covered 50% or more with paper (art, posters, etc.) due to fire hazard. The 50% applies to each wall and not an average for the entire room.
Avoid using chairs/tables to reach high areas. There are ladders and assistance readily available upon request.
Doors should remain closed during school hours for safety reasons as WESD is an open-campus.
Windows and lights should be covered and shut off at the end of day.
Personal appliances (toaster ovens, refrigerators, microwaves, etc.) in classrooms pose additional risks and strain the electrical systems.
