Teachers have high standards when teaching students first aid and safety issues in their programs. Most students are prompted to take the first aid and emergency responder programs if they are interested in a career where safety issues are of concern. Existing liability, health and safety policies will need to be reviewed to assure compliance. Administrators, counselors and teachers involved with students participating in work-based learning experiences have detailed safety standards and precautions that need to be observed by all those involved. Prior to placement of students in a work-based or internship program, they participate in a safety workshop.
Sites currently monitor for safety and liability issues.

Students are required to go through employer orientations before being placed at the worksite. Health Safety and Liability issues are also taught to faculty and students. Students are trained in these areas in the business and technical areas.
