Greenville County Schools Commitment to (Employee) Safety

GCS is dedicated to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all district personnel by reducing the frequency and

severity of accidental injuries through education and implementation of safety

programs and procedures.

Our Goal is to have every employee return home in the same physical condition as when

he/she began the day.

Even in the most seemingly, straightforward accidents, seldom, if ever, is there only a single cause.

For example, an “investigation” which concludes that an accident was due to worker carelessness, and goes no further, fails to seek answers to several important questions.

Why conduct an Accident Investigation?

Accident Causation Model

Was the worker distracted? Was a safe work procedure being followed? Were safety devices in order? Was the worker (properly) trained?
