Injury and Illness Prevention
The personal safety and health of each employee, student, and the visitor is a primary concern of the Saugus Union School District board of trustees and shall always be a part of and equal to any function of work performed. The objective of the district’s injury and illness prevention program is to maintain a safe and healthy environment for employees, students, and visitors, minimize the number of injuries and illnesses that occur during any school year, and comply with regulatory requirements. A copy of the IIPP is available to all employees for review.
