Description	The list is based on the following regulations
This checklist can be used by the school leader together with the safety representative to assess the risk of threats and violence, first aid, and crisis management. It can concern threats and violence within the organisation or from outside, and against the staff, pupils, or both. Adapted schools and emergency schools may require a special risk assessment. You can choose to complete the entire list or parts of it. The National Agency for Education provides detailed information about safety work, such as a contingency plan for serious violent situations.
