Safety Study Hall

Welcome to Safety Study Hall

Created by the Department of Health in partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and other organizations, the Safety Study Hall is a place to start learning. The Safety Study Hall is a library of information and resources on several health and safety issues for schools, students, and families/caregivers.

As we open the virtual Safety Study Hall doors, we start with the key safety topics outlined by the Washington State Legislature in HB 1230: Opioid Overdose Prevention Strategies, Secure Storage of Prescription and Over-the-Counter Medication, and Secure Storage of Firearms and Ammunition.

We’ve researched federal, state, local, and community resources to find answers to common questions about these issues.
