VDIS1006 RESTORATION INTERIORS LECTURE 2- OH&S FOR HERITAGE BUILDINGSVirtu Institute
The document discusses workplace health and safety considerations for heritage buildings. It notes that heritage buildings were constructed before modern health and safety standards, so incorporating current legislation can be challenging. All stakeholders have a role in identifying and managing risks throughout the building's lifecycle. Common high risks include electrical wiring, walkways, hazardous materials, fire, and structural failure. The objective is protecting occupants while minimizing impacts on heritage significance. Solutions must consider each building's unique heritage values and context. However, literature on the topic is limited.

AHMR is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal created to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects (socio-economic, political, legislative and developmental) of Human Mobility in Africa. Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

4. Key Terminology
Mitigation
The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of
hazards and related disasters
Source:- http://www.unisdr.org/we/inform/terminology
5. Key Terminology
Structural Mitigation:
• Any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts
of hazards, or application of engineering techniques to
achieve hazard-resistance and resilience in structures or
systems
• The “structural elements” of a building carry the weight of the
building itself, the people and the things inside, and the forces
of nature. These “load-bearing” elements include the frame
(columns, beams) and in masonry or construction also the
“shear-wall”.

ToT Manual-NSSP-GSDMA
6. Components of Structural Mitigation
• Resistant construction
• Building codes and regulatory measures
• Relocation
• Structural modification
• Physical modification
• Lintel Beam
• Column
• Masonry Wall
• Plinth Beam/Bend
• Foundation
• Corrosion
8. Structural Mitigation Measures
• Geographical Area of Building Construction
– Coastal Area
– Desert area
– River bank area
– Flood prone area
– Rural & Urban
– Near by Industrial area or Hazardous industries
• Earth Quake Zoning of Building Construction
• Types of Structure ( Frame, Load bearing OR Wooden)
• Soil Pattern (Rocky OR Sandy)
• Roofing pattern, (RCC, mud tiles, Cement or steel sheet)
• Age of the Building
• Retrofitting of the building
• If Building is multistory (Fire safety Installed or Not)
• Building Insurance
10. Key Terminology
Non Structural Mitigation:
• Any measure not involving physical construction that uses
knowledge, practice or agreement to reduce risks and impacts, in
particular through policies and laws, public awareness raising,
training and education.
• The “non-structural elements” of a building do not carry the
weight of the building, and include windows, doors, stairs,
partition walls, pipes and ducts. They include “building contents”
that users bring with them such as furniture, appliances, coolers,
water tanks, etc. In other words non-structural elements are
those which are either attached to building or kept in building.

11. Components of Non Structural Mitigation
Within the school building:
• Furniture and Fixture
• School Equipment (Electrical, Electronics, Gaming)
• Utensils
• Electricals wirings (Open, Putti & Pipe fitting)
• Show case & Frames & Notice Boards
• Study Materials (Books/Charts, Demonstration/Toys)
• Storage cabinet (In the Wall, Out side of the wall)
Laboratory Material (Spirit, Microscope, Beaker/Test
Tube etc.)
Display Cupboard/ Almari
Ensure mass evacuation dimensions of halls or
stairways
Smoke in the hallway
12. Components of Non Structural Mitigation
Within the school building:
Doors and windows opening inward
Glass panes
Tall bookcases or cabinets not properly secured to the
wall
Areas where flammable liquids are stored – science
labs
Fire extinguishers
Other movable, falling and blocking hazards
13. Components of Non Structural Mitigation
Hazard outside the school building:
• Power lines
• Trees
• Parapets, roof tiles, chimneys, glass etc.
• Routes past concrete walls
• Rivers, sea cost, main roads, market place, inflammable goods
storehouse, a bus stand, railway tracks etc
• Open well
• Fencing
• Ramp, grab bars, etc.
14. RISK IDENTIFICATION OF NSM
• Earthquakes are a risk that we accept by living in an earthquake region. We
face many other risks in our lives as well and we take precautions to reduce
our losses from them. NSM is reasonable precaution against earthquake
risks from the non-structural elements of buildings. To decide what NSM is
necessary, you need to identify what risks exist in your home, school,
workplace and the public places that you frequent stay in. This risk varies
from situation to situation. It is important to evaluate each situation
individually.
• SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
• DAMAGE TO BELONGINGS
• Furniture & Equipment's
• Hazards In School
26. Impact of the School NSRM
• Create awareness of Non Structural Mitigation
• Reduced Loss of Life
• Protect school equipment's and educational materials
• Reducing the potential for injuries and fatalities
• Reduced fear and increase attendance ratio of the students.
• Increase the community’s ability to keep the school open in case of disaster.
• Helping to maintain safe and clear exit ways for evacuation and to access the
building
• Reducing the potential for chemical spills, fires and gas leaks
• Save manpower & utilized for education development & Improvement
• Built the response capacity of the school.
• Children learn from school and Implement at home
• Parents aware about NSRM by children .
• Create safe environment at school & Home
• Safe School Safe Children
27. Mitigation Measures-NSRM
• Relocate furnishing and contents
• Secure non-structural building elements and furnishing
• Actions for offsite non-structural hazard
• Ask for consultation engineers and maintenance personnel
together for solution
• Behavioral changes among users: it is very vital and
indispensable that users develop the culture of safety. Like use
of dustbin to avoid water blocking/logging or discipline when
moving in a mass.
28. Mitigation Measures
• Identify which mitigation activities will reduce the risks of
damage and injury the most.
• Determine which activities can be accomplished at little or no
cost (i.e., securing bookcases to walls, closed hooks for
pictures and mirrors)
• Look up
• Look Around
• Look Down
