The Annual Facility Self-Inspection Survey for 2016-17 from the State Office of Risk Management is now available online at www.risk.utah.gov. “Due to policy change, no extensions will be given and agencies not meeting the deadlines will be enforced with a premium penalty.” So, it is imperative that each school complete and submit the Facility Self-Inspection Survey no later than Friday, April 14, 2017.
Each school principal is the “Surveyor” and the person ultimately responsible for completing this survey. Appropriate sections of the survey may be delegated to the department head, nutrition manager, custodian, etc. as seen fit, but the principal remains accountable.
As in previous years, if an issue is noted, you will be prompted to fill in a corrective action plan. Please specify Work Order #, date submitted, who will follow through from your school, a target completion date, and any other important information pertaining to specific questions.
When the survey is finished, the lock button at the end of the survey must be pressed to report that it is completed.
Please feel free to call or email us with any problems or questions:
Ron Boshard, 801-567-8876 (x 88876), ron.boshard@jordandistrict.org
Peggy Margetts, 801-567-8753 (x 88753), peggy.margetts@jordandistrict.org
