The NCEF Safe School Facilities Checklist is designed for assessing the safety and security of proposed and existing school buildings and grounds. Facility assessments are best performed by experienced building and safety professionals working closely with school officials.

Each school is different. Tailor the checklist to your school's needs by selecting the appropriate categories and subcategories below. The information you choose will be downloaded to your computer in an Adobe file.

NCEF Assessment Guides
An alternative form of this checklist is the series of NCEF Assessment Guides covering specific building spaces and subjects. The guides can be downloaded individually, and multiple copies can be made for repetitive spaces such as classrooms.
I plan to use the NCEF Safe School Facilities Checklist for:
Reviewing plans for a new school facility
Assessing an existing school facility

I would like supplemental information on the following hazards:
Acts of violence and terrorism
Earthquakes
Hurricanes, tornados, and other wind hazards
Flooding
