Summary:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between risk management and relevant safety practices of school administrators of 28 primary and secondary schools in the town of Sungai Siput (U), Perak. The factors considered in this study were the independent variables: Risk Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control and the personal characteristics of the school administrators: gender, age, service category (educational level), years of service and race. A questionnaire was developed to measure the relevant safety practices of the school administrator and its measurement is known as Risk Management Practice. The study conducted show that 64.28 percent of the school administrators carried out regularly risk management practices in their respective schools. The findings of this study show that Risk Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control are significantly related to Risk Management Practice. The personal characteristics of the school administrators do not appear to be significantly related to Risk Management Practice.
