The objective of the study was to measure the understanding regarding safety and health among school teachers in Kelantan by distributing questionnaires consist of ten District Education Offices (PPD) in Kelantan, Malaysia. The results show that most of the respondents understand about safety and health matters with the importance of implementing safety and health in school. In conclusion, further study on workplace assessment need to be conducted at school to identify the implementation of safety and health among school community.
