Safety Regulations in Regard to Dress
While the West Warwick School Committee generally accepts the philosophy, endorsed by the Rhode Island Department of Education, that the responsibility for proper dress rests primarily with the parent, the welfare and safety of each student remains paramount. For these reasons, certain areas of the school building shall-require special dress codes.
The following modes of dress shall be required in the Industrial Arts Department in the West Warwick Schools:
1. Neckties shall not be worn while operating machinery, unless they are the type that clip on the front of the shirt.
2. Safety eyeglasses shall be worn in all shop areas at all times by all persons.
3. In the wood, metal, and power mechanics areas of the shops, long trousers or slacks and leather shoes of a substantial nature shall be worn.
4. No form of loose clothing shall be worn in any area.
5. Any student operating machinery with hair long enough to be considered hazardous to the student by the teacher, department chairperson or principal of the school, shall be required to wear a head covering approved by the instructor for his or her own protection.
6. Students working in hot metal areas shall wear the proper protective equipment as provided by the school.
