On August 3, 1977, the New Jersey (NJ) State Board of Education first adopted rules and regulations covering career and technical education safety and health standards. Since that time, the code has been revised to make local programs stronger and more effective in reaching the following shared goals:
- The elimination of injuries and illnesses resulting from participation in career and
- technical education courses and programs
- Safer workers will leave our programs; and,
- Achieve improved compliance with state and federal regulations.
This guide (pages 3-14) is intended to assist NJ school districts in preparing a safety and health program and plan that meets the requirements of the current Safety and Health Standards found under N.J.A.C. 6A:19-6. A copy of the code has been attached as Appendix I (pages 15-18).
