Keenan & Associates and SafeSchools have joined forces to create an online training program for California public educational agencies. Beginning this summer, Keenan will provide all of its property and casualty clients with access to these training tools through "Keenan SafeSchools," a Web-based delivery system for safety and risk management training modules.

The system will also serve as a technology platform that administers and assigns courses to employees, tracks compliance progress and documents training completion.

Specifically tailored to address California public education needs, from the types of risk exposures they face to the details of Cal-OSHA and Education Code requirements, the program will allow schools to provide training to hard-to-reach employee groups in a cost-effective manner. Keenan SafeSchools will be deployed beginning this summer to more than 500 K-12 districts throughout California, according to the companies.
