Safety Risks For School Workers

School environments can be unpredictable. There are all kinds of risks that teachers and staff may encounter, such as the following:

• Unsafe conditions, including uneven surfaces, cracked or slippery floors, falling objects, damaged stairs and hazards on playgrounds
• Malfunctions with classroom equipment
• Acts of violence from students, parents or outsiders
• Injuries from lifting heavy classroom materials
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Accidents while supervising field trips and other off-campus activities

We are here to help school employees who have sustained injuries while at work understand their rights and options regarding workers’ compensation.

Are Private School Employees Covered By Workers’ Compensation?

Yes, they typically are. Florida puts this requirement on most employers with four or more employees. So, private schools generally do have to provide workers’ compensation coverage for their employees.

What About Public School Employees?

Workers at public schools, as public employees, encounter a different set of rules when it comes to workers’ compensation. In Florida, school workers typically do have workers’ comp coverage. This is because the state requires all state and local governments to have workers’ compensation insurance.
