Please note: the Safety Standards are currently being updated for mid-August 2026. As a result, some of the content on OPASSE may not be up to date. Contact Ask Ophea at safety@ophea.net if you would like copies of specific activity pages from the 2025-2026 year.

Activities Not Included in OPASSE

If you are planning a physical activity for your class and you notice it is not in OPASSE – here’s what to do! 

If an activity is not in OPASSE, refer to the activity page it most resembles. If no activity page resembles the activity consult with the appropriate school board official before offering the activity. 

Ophea has created a Sample Checklist to Identify and Minimize Risk for Activities not included in OPASSE to help with this process. This sample checklist will help identify the safety considerations needed to seek approval for the activity (e.g., the age/stage of development, the facility being used).
