Cost of Accidents in schools result in both direct and indirect losses; understanding these costs is key to effective risk control.
Safety is a shared responsibility—professional and personal commitment, teamwork, and accountability are essential.
Most accidents are caused by unsafe acts, conditions, job factors, or personal factors; 90% result from unsafe actions.
Keys to loss control are accountability, education, self-inspection, communication, and thorough accident investigation.
Common school accidents/claims include slips, trips, falls, exertion injuries, chemical/electrical hazards, and legal liability issues.
Prevention strategies emphasize reporting hazards, safe lifting techniques, proper housekeeping, use of protective equipment, and immediate accident reporting.

Vehicles are more than transportation for Catholic organizations, they are essential tools for ministry, service, and connection. But navigating auto coverage is becoming increasingly complex with rising premiums, mixed fleets, volunteer drivers, and shifting regulations.
That is why we created our new white paper:
“Navigating Auto Coverage for Catholic Organizations: Trends and Best Practices”
This resource explores the latest industry trends and provides practical strategies to help Catholic institutions:
Manage unique auto risks
Control rising costs
Strengthen stewardship and protect their mission

We are pleased to share Paul Timm’s podcast The Changing Face of School Security: An Allegion Podcast — a timely and important resource for all school administrators and anyone invested in maintaining safer environments in schools and churches. Paul also presented earlier this fall during our Risk Solutions special webinar, Keeping People Safe at School and Church.
In the podcast, Paul draws on his expertise as a board-certified physical security professional (PSP) and shares practical insights and real-world examples of how K-12 institutions can build stronger safety and security. The podcast features changemakers in the field—school security coordinators, analysts, non-profits and trusted advisors—who are actively shaping how schools think about physical security, behavioral threat assessment, culture and technology.
We encourage you to give the podcast a listen and revisit the webinar to reinforce your thinking about safety and security strategy in your organization.
Want help implementing ideas or aligning your team’s safety program with what Paul is discussing? Reach out and let’s talk about how to bring these concepts into your planning.
