Information for School Staff

Health and safety in the workplace is a joint responsibility between employers, employees and any other professionals in the workplace (for example, contractors or suppliers).


Reporting Incidents of Unacceptable Behaviour

Information provided through PowerSchool helps to make decisions at the school, Regional/Board and provincial levels, including investigating and responding to incidents, directing resources and providing supports.

It is important teachers and other school staff report every intentional and unintentional incident through PowerSchool in accordance with the Provincial School Code of Conduct Policy.

If you have questions about reporting incidents, speak to your administrator as soon as possible.

Workplace Health and Safety

As employers, schools and Regional Centres for Education or the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial are responsible for ensuring school staff are safe at work in compliance with Nova Scotia’s Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Regions and CSAP have health and safety policies, deliver training and provide advice to staff with the goal of preventing workplace injuries and maintaining healthy and safe schools.

If you have questions about health or safety in your workplace or feel your health or safety are in danger, you should speak immediately to your supervisor or school administrator. You can also reach out to your workplace joint occupational health and safety committee.

More information about health and safety in the workplace is available on the Government of Nova Scotia’s Heath and Safety webpage.
