About the NJ Safe Schools Program
We are a project supported by the New Jersey Department of Education, Office of Career Readiness, and state/federal Interagency Alliance, to assist schools in reducing risk to occupational safety and health hazards in secondary school and work microenvironments in which NJ adolescents spend time. The project is administered by the Rutgers-School of Public Health.
We are multiple training/education, incident/injury surveillance, and technical assistance components designed to support teachers, administrators, safety and health designees, structured learning experience/work-based learning coordinators, career orientation coordinators, county and local school district apprenticeship coordinators, cooperative education coordinators
