(Re)entering a Physically Demanding Work Environment 
Join Don Freeman, CEO of Occumetric, on June 22nd at 1:00 PM for an informative training created to help transition employees back into the workplace. Due to the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, many employees traded their physically demanding jobs for something a little different. This time away from routine, physical tasks may have created a situation that could potentially result in an injured employee if he or she is not properly reacclimated to the job. Gather all your Maintenance and Operations (M&O) employees and register today!
Heat Illness Prevention Training
We have been experiencing high temperatures across the state for a few weeks now. Does your district still need to complete the required heat illness prevention training? PRISM Risk Control has developed the 'PRISM: Heat Illness Prevention’ course to help members meet the training requirements of Cal/OSHA's Heat Illness Prevention Standard. The course is available for assignment on the Vector Solutions platform (formerly TargetSolutions). For additional information about Vector Solutions or this course, please contact Risk Control.
Summer School Closures – Time for Cleaning & Inspections
While some school employees are beginning their summer break, many Maintenance and Operations employees are gearing up to restore campuses for pre-pandemic activities such as in-person learning and field activities. Check out these Risk Simplified documents that cover Preparing for Outdoor Activities and Preventing Injuries When Cleaning Floors.
Coming Soon!
Grab a snack and watch the show to discover new resources coming soon to PRISM members!
