Schools are actually a workplace for teachers. Different workplaces have different safety guidelines and measures because there are different issues and hazards depending on the workplace. Construction areas may have more hazards than schools since there are fall hazards, chemical hazards, etc. Schools are different from most other workplaces because they have lots of people present who are not employees and who may be unaware of hazards that can be present. Often the students are young and rambunctious, not thinking about possible consequences of what they do. So school safety is about ensuring the safety of students attending the school and its functions, while workplace safety is about ensuring the safety of people who are paid for their work (employees), wherever they happen to work.
