Staying Safe While Supporting Students: Injury Prevention in Classrooms

Join us for an important and timely seminar focused on reducing employee injuries in special education classrooms. This session will explore real data on Member incident trends and high-cost workers’ compensation claims involving student-involved employee injuries—such as bites, scratches, kicks, and other physical behaviors. We’ll dive into the root causes of these injuries and discuss practical, proven strategies for creating safer, more productive learning environments. Topics will include the importance of effective communication, environmental safety design, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and proactive behavior management and documentation. Members will leave with actionable best practices to help protect themselves and their colleagues while supporting student success.
