POLICY STATEMENT

The Board of Education of School District No. 6 (Rocky Mountain) is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its workers. To achieve this, our District has established and will maintain an Occupational Health and Safety Program designed to prevent injuries and disease. It is also a belief of the Board of Education that the focus on Health and Safety will also benefit students and the general public by providing a safe and healthy environment for all.

Every worker is to protect the health and safety of themselves and other persons by working in compliance with School District safe work procedures and complying with those regulations applicable to their work.
