CHILD ABUSE REPORTING
All employees of schools are required by law to report child abuse. Any person who fails to report an instance of suspected child abuse is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by confinement in the county jail for a term not to exceed six months, or by a fine of not more than $1 ,000, or both. "Child Abuse" is any act which impairs a child's physical or emotional health and development. It includes the sexual assault of a child, willful cruelty, unjustifiable punishment or corporal punishment resulting in trauma, medical neglect, the infliction of mental suffering and neglect.

INJURY AND ILLNESS PROGRAM (IIPP)
The objective of our safety program is to prevent accidental injuries. We are committed to provide safe and healthy working conditions for all employees and our clients. if you observe unsafe conditions at your work site, report these potential hazards to your immediate supervisor. A reporting form is provided at your site. Each site is required to perform monthly premise self-inspections and document the results. Be sure that any unsafe conditions are brought to the attention of the person(s) responsible for conducting the inspections and are noted on the inspection form.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Your work site may contain materials that are hazardous to you. Make yourself familiar with the material safety data sheets (MSDS). Call your supervisor if you cannot locate this information. If you encounter a container without a label, it is your responsibility to notify your supervisor. Labels and MSDS's are your guides to working safely with hazardous materials.

BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
Employees who are exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials during the performance of their duties, or who regularly respond to accidents where they come into contact with bodily fluids, must complete a comprehensive training program. Our Exposure Control Plan (R 4119.43, 4219.43, and 4319.43) outlines the universal precautions that each of us needs to know and practice.

SMOKING POLICY
The Fall River Joint Unified School District has designated all school property and vehicles tobacco free (P and R 3513.3). This policy supports our instructional programs designed to discourage students from using tobacco products.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

There are two types of sexual harassment: 1) Quid pro quo occurs when submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for making employment decisions. 2) Hostile environment sexual harassment involves unwelcome sexual conduct that interferes with work or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. You may contact your immediate supervisor or Personnel Office if you believe you have been sexually harassed. You may also contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing or the local police or sheriff’s department. As an employee, you are encouraged to review your own behavior and comments to assure that your conduct cannot be considered harassing. (Policy 4119.11)
