The Components Of Focusing To The Baylor Student Life Center

The booklets must be kept on the school premises. Risks should be assessed periodically, following an accident, on the introduction of any new process/equipment and also any change in circumstances. Educational visits also require a written risk assessment. There is a folder of the most frequently used venues in the staff room, containing risk assessments. There is also a folder containing risk assessments for each group in the same place. All staff and group leaders must ensure that they have read these documents before embarking on a trip and must sign to acknowledge this each time they take children on a trip as part of the signing out procedure.

ensuring that there is an effective way of reporting any hazards to the appropriate person so that any required action can be taken. Every school is

There is a need that each school, its administrators and teachers should know the law of torts. In order to create a "culture of safety" principals should manage the risk of negligence to the faculty and students. As Burgett and Schwartz state, “being a teacher, administrator, board member, school employee, parent, or even a student is tricky business these days” (p.9). Therefore, each decision or actions’ steps should be made based upon ethical and legal principles. The particular high school puts an emphasis on health and safety issues. The school, the buildings, and the classroom are certainly the most critical areas of an educational institution where safety and health take place but also behavior and attitude reflect the importance of the serious business of learning. Therefore, the following three legal issues: unsupervised students, hallways, and field trips demand some improvements, accommodations or extra care to maintain the safety and healthy environment for students and employees.

They are to ensure that spillages are mopped and appropriate caution signs are in place to warn staff, clients and visitors of potential hazards.

Report any hazards – all persons on the school premises should be aware of any hazards which may cause harm. A yearly risk assessment is carried out which will outline which areas and activities of the school are more hazardous, detailed hazards and who may be at risk. Pupils and all staff need to report hazards they come across straight away to the correct person. Everyone should know who the person is who Health

a. The first thing to do is read the risk assessment folders for the student/students involved in the activity. It is necessary to ensure the activity is safe and appropriate for all the students and staff involved. For example if one of the students was not safe to be near water it would not be safe to include that student on a trip that involved being on or in water of any description, like a trip to the beach.

In my work place we ensure the safety of our staff and the young people who attend the college by following The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is the employers duty to put policies and procedures into place to ensure that our setting is meeting the standards of the Health and Safety at Work Act. We follow this act by ensuring the building and environment around the building is well maintained, clean and safe for the young people and staff to use. We have systems in place to ensure the safety of the young people and staff that attend the building, such as the Fire Alarm system (which is tested once every two weeks), the signing in book (all visitors, staff and students must use the signing in book when they arrive in the building and

To ensure that the clients are living in an environment that is safe and promotes independence there is training and policies and procedures in place which ensure that staff inform management on health and safety issues they find around the home and this needs to be acted on with immediate effect.

This will defer from each school but will set out the same responsibilities of staff & procedures that all must follow. These policies may be incorporated into health and safety policies or separate. These must include sections that cover the following issues of:

This situation is not only an inconvenience for our students; it also presents a safety hazard

To keep the children and adults safe all most all settings have a statement for the security of the building, (appendices 2) the policy and the procedure is in place to protect children and adults they are followed and updated regularly when new staff or changes in the building have occurred such as security systems to the doors and even ID badges.

HSE states that “employers, duty holders and others who have responsibility for the control of work-places, sites and premises”. Have a responsibility to apply safety signage where and when required. Safety signs and signals are required where, despite putting in place all other relevant measures, a significant risk to the health and safety of employees and others remains. Signs must be clear and legible, and should be used to identify actions that are prohibited (eg no access), safeguards that must be followed (eg ear protection must be worn), warning of a hazard (eg corrosive material) and to direct towards fire exits/equipment or first-aid equipment. What responsible personnel should do to comply with the Health and Safety (Safety

Facilities – we check the facilities every day for any hazards or dangers such as wet floors/hall way and any hazards that could cause accidents such as tripping over objects or slipping on wet floors. We must make sure all exits are clear and accessible in case of a fire alarm or emergencies. We check the indoor/outdoor environment

As a dedicated, hardworking, and energetic individual there are several qualities I could bring to the table at Baylor University. To name a few, I could be a great addition to the community service and involvement not only on campus, but in the Waco metropolitan area, because I’m passionate about giving back. My experience in community service throughout my life includes a local service club, Changemakers, my school’s Leo club where I volunteered to make props for my town’s Christmas festival, at concessions in several elementary school fairs, and running our school’s recycling program, shows that I work hard to serve my community. Another quality I could bring to Baylor is my energy. I enthusiastically and passionately commit to everything

Thanks to the Student Transitional Empowerment Program (STEP), it has been very easy transitioning to Mason. Everyday I ask myself what I would do if I did not have STEP. Nobody understands how much I appreciate STEP for getting me ready for college, because I did not feel like a lost puppy one the first week of school. Without STEP I would be coming into campus with only one friend, but thanks to STEP I came into campus with over 30 friends, which I now call family. I have people who I can study with, grab lunch with and people who I can participate in activities with. In addition, where would I go in between my classes? Thanks to ODIME office, I have a place to relax and study in between my classes. However, not everything has been flowers and sun shine, because I have had some difficulties transitioning to Mason, two in particular. One being that I have to commute over 30 minutes from my house. In high school, it would literally take me two minutes to drive, now I have to go through a mission to get to my classes. The second thing I am having difficulties with is, how there are no school lunches and I do not have mason money from STEP. Personally, it is difficult to pack lunch when I get home and in the mornings because I am to tired and busy to do so at both times, so I go without food the whole day.
