NCEF Assessment Guides for examining the safety and security of all aspects of a school facility

Compiled and Prepared by the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities (NCEF) at the National Institute of Building Sciences.
Prepared under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.

Improving the safety of school facilities is not a new idea. All schools practice it in some way, but often informally and on an ad hoc basis. A school and its occupants are best protected by conducting and maintaining a systematic, careful, and well-documented hazard mitigation planning process. This also fulfills the school’s legal obligation to maintain an appropriate standard of care.
