Brunswick High. Emergency Procedures

Fire notices are displayed throughout the school detailing the fire evacuation procedures and evacuation points.

These consist of bomb alerts, fire evacuation and first aid. These procedures are produced to give help to everyone at the place of the emergency. Everyone, especially adults must be aware of what to follow during an emergency to ensure everyone stays safe.

| State how emergencies should be responded to in accordance with organisational authorisation and personal skills when involved with fires, spillages, injuries and other task-related hazards.

When an emergency situation arises, it's essential that you are able to recognise it, as well as respond. Emergency situations such as fires are suddenly notice and quick recognition can be crucial. When aware of a fire, alert the nearest fire alarm and evacuate the building through the nearest fire exit. If you at any point in the school day hear the fire alarm. Everyone must immediately leave the building via their nearest fire exit (this is rehearsed often throughtout the year to make sure everyone is fully aware of what to do). If a child has an illness, then you must first speak to the child in question and become

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find a building that does not have exit signs or fire extinguishers in America. Whether in a university or at the work place, exit signs and fire safety instructions can easily be found by anybody. Fire drills are regularly practiced to ensure the least amount of casualty will occur if something goes wrong. However, a hundred years ago safety issues were barely taken into considerations and safety regulations were most of the time inexistent, as illustrates the terrible fire that happened a hundred years ago at the Triangle

In our school we have our emergency procedures displayed at specific points around the setting so that no matter where you are there is a copy within easy view such as the toilets or the main office waiting area. These procedures state what to do in the event of a fire or evacuation. We carry out regular fire drills so that the children know what to expect and also to help us identify any issues with our procedure. The dates and time taken to carry out fire drills are recorded. We had our practice fire drill recently in our school and I was playing with some children in the nursery garden and we did not hear the fire drill outside, so when we took the children to the fire assembly point,

The presentation will cover several areas dealing with the university’s ability to prepare for an emergency or catastrophic event. The areas covered include:

As part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and other regulations, every setting that employs five or more staff must have a safety policy. The policy will cover emergency procedures in the event of fire, accident or other emergencies. Fire and evacuation drills are also a requirement of every EYFS settings in England. The following are steps to take in the event of fire:

Through this tragedy, educators have learned a different approach to intruders. We teach students to think for themselves through a training program called ALICE: Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. There is no linear progression to ALICE. Through studies, we have learned the best chance for survival is to evacuate the building and run. ALICE teaches schools, teachers, and students how to respond in intruder situations. Schools all across the country including hundreds in our area conduct weekly ALICE drills. An example of items implemented from our ALICE trainings include: a method of communication to all teachers and students, increase in the number of school security cameras, door locking mechanisms on every classroom door to be used in the event that a classroom cannot evacuate and needs to “shelter in place” and finally, a go-bucket. Items in a go-bucket vary across schools but if you google the term you will see these items include: items to barricade a door, items to defend oneself, items such as wasp spray, which can

* My fire evacuation process is practiced with the children and recorded on a monthly basis.

In light of the tragedies at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, incidents at other schools around the nation and a recent threat at Adelante High School, Roseville Joint Union High School District administrators are reviewing and seeking to improve emergency procedure protocol.

For lockdown drills it is important that the students practice remaining quiet for safety reasons as the students and teachers will hide away from the door and any open windows. For the fire evacuation drill, the teacher will lead the students to the nearest exit. During this procedure it is important that the students remain quiet and in a straight line. Once outside, it is important for the teacher to make sure his or her students are there. Once the okay is given, they will walk back into the

This process had a profound impact on the discipline of emergency management. The off-site preparedness planning process became the model for future emergency response plans. The required exercises are seen as being the first such activities taken on a widespread scale. They also brought a legitimacy and level of public and political exposure to the emergency management profession. Most people agree that the radiological emergency preparedness program, initiated in the aftermath of Three Mile Island and which became part of the newly created FEMA, was the start of the modern emergency management discipline.

Major types of Emergencies are the following -evacuation -explosion and bomb alerts -external emergencies and natural disasters, such as: • explosion • fire • flood • hazardous chemical spill • storm • traffic accident -internal emergencies, such as: • loss of power • loss of water supply • structural collapse -security emergencies, such as: • armed robberies • intruders • disturbed persons -serious injury events. Examples of emergencies includes • Bomb threats and suspected devices • Death at the workplace or during a work activity • Death of staff not work related • Earthquake/ collapse of building • Electrical hazard • Explosion • Fire • Flood • Fumes/ chemical spill/ contamination by hazardous materials • Gas leak • Infectious diseases • Letter and parcel bombs -white powder letters • Pedestrian accidents • Serious violence • Staff lost on excursions • Storms • Suicide • Drought 2.2. Actions required are identified to contain or limit potential emergencies.
