All safety equipment, as specified, is being provided inside the bus [Fire extinguishers, first aid box etc.] The Bus staff are given training on a continuous basis to reinforce the importance of the students’ safety while they are in the school buses, for example, the importance of wearing seat belt while the bus is on the move. A daily attendance sheet is maintained in the bus with students’ details and parents’ contact numbers in it.

Bus movement in the campus is strictly monitored with the help of the transport supervisor and support staff.
