Well, technically neither is
EricH's example of computers, but they all can be just as dangerous, if not more so, than a drill or a saw. The point being,
anything can be harmful if not taught to be used properly.
As
Martijn said, it's Georgia state law to have a safety test on file. Since the OP is in a private school, they can extend the rule any way they want. It might be a liability or legal issue, or just another level of paperwork they don't want to get into. Go to them with your safety policy in place, to show that you are teaching safety, and see what they say. Bring parents; administration can't really ignore them as they can teachers and students.
