The Safety Committee Form provide by the Salem Keizer School district is at used at West Salem High School in Salem, Oregon, is a data-collection tool used by the committee chair, Leona Hall, to compile and organize all input from building-wide safety inspections. Each member of the Safety Committee contributes detailed observations from their assigned room or area checks, ensuring that every classroom, hallway, and common space is evaluated for potential hazards or compliance issues. The form serves as a central record of findings—such as blocked exits, fire extinguisher status, electrical safety, and emergency-plan visibility—and provides documentation for follow-up actions. This process ensures that all members conduct thorough, consistent, and accountable safety checks to maintain a safe environment for both staff and students throughout the school building.
