There are issues with the effectiveness of emergency drills at Moraine Park Technical College due to a lack of participation. A
questionnaire found most students and staff did not know drill procedures or their importance. The root cause is individuals do not
understand how to respond in real emergencies or feel overconfident. A solution plan addresses technical issues, preparation,
participation, and inaccurate evaluations. Implementation includes fixing equipment, informing all of procedures, encouraging
participation through posters, and disciplining those who do not participate. Evaluations will also be improved to accurately document
issues. Completing these tasks is scheduled over two semesters to increase emergency drill participation and preparedness.

Analyzing The Near Miss: Are companies overlooking crucial data?Garrett Foley
Near misses are predictive, showing the potential for future accidents. If a company doesn’t record its near misses, it’s missing a wealth of predictive information that could help prevent serious safety problems. For this reason, employees should be trained to identify near misses, and reporting these instances should be as quick and simple as possible. Nothing provides safety managers with more details and more trend data than near misses. They are the canary in the coal mine, helping to predict where, when, and why an accident will happen. With robust near-miss reporting, metal fabricators can catch safety issues long before they turn dangerous or even tragic.
The document provides guidance on investigating incidents and near-misses in the oil and gas industries. It discusses the importance of investigating all incidents to prevent recurrence and learn lessons. Key aspects covered include procedures for investigating such as gathering information from the scene, witness interviews, and documentation review. The document also distinguishes between immediate causes that directly contributed to the incident and underlying root causes such as failures in management systems. Thorough investigation of all incidents is necessary to identify corrective actions and improve safety.

Open door policy is part of this program. The definition of the open door policy allows make the employees comfortable to see their senior and ask him about their personal problem instead their immediate supervisors. Sometime the employees cannot tell or discuss the issue with their immediate supervisors. With an open door policy, employees can approach senior management and discuss issues such as job performance, conflicts with co-workers, ideas for department improvements and company policies. Open door policies develop the connection between employees and management. The employees can solve their personal problem not only the business issue with their senior. The open door policy can help the companies because they will use all the suggestions from the employees. Also ...

HAZARD RECOGNITION AND REPORTING
Open door policy is part of this program. The definition of the open door policy allows make the employees comfortable to see their senior and ask him about their personal problem instead their immediate supervisors. Sometime the employees cannot tell or discuss the issue with their immediate supervisors. With an open door policy, employees can approach senior management and discuss issues such as job performance, conflicts with co-workers, ideas for department improvements and company policies. Open door policies develop the connection between employees and management. The employees can solve their personal problem not only the business issue with their senior. The open door policy can help the companies because they will use all the suggestions from the employees. Also ...

This document outlines the steps for conducting an effective accident investigation:
1) Immediately respond to the accident and secure the site.
2) Investigate by determining the 5 Ws and collecting evidence through interviews and photos.
3) Analyze the data to determine the root causes such as equipment issues, environmental factors, human errors, or management failures.
4) Recommend corrective actions and implement solutions permanently through standard procedures and communication. The goal is to prevent future accidents.
This document provides guidance on performing a job hazard analysis (JHA). It outlines a 5-step process for conducting a JHA: 1) prepare, 2) select the job, 3) breakdown the job into steps, 4) identify and describe hazards, and 5) recommend controls. Conducting a JHA involves breaking down jobs into their basic steps, identifying potential hazards, and determining how to eliminate or reduce risks. Performing a JHA with employee involvement helps create safer work practices.
This document summarizes the key points from a webinar on risk management and emergency preparedness for parks and recreation professionals. It discusses defining risk management and employee responsibilities.

Introduction
Executing drills is mandatory for public entities. Moraine Park Technical College
participates in several different drills each year. There are emergency procedures in place
for Medical, Fire/Evacuation, Severe Weather/Tornados, Lockdown, Code ADAM,
Violence/Bomb Threat, Hazardous Materials, and Utilities/Natural Gas. For the purpose of
this project, and based on the data we’ve acquired, we will focus on Fire/Evacuation,
Severe Weather/Tornados, Lockdown, and Code ADAM.
5. 5
Problem Statement
The ideal situation is to have all students, faculty, other instructional and non-instructional
individuals, and guests participate freely and willingly in emergency response drills.
There appears to be a lack of willing participation with the simulation of emergency
response drills by all levels of occupants at Moraine Park Technical College.
It has been noted that occupants hide, disregard correct drill procedures, or find other
ways to avoid drills (ex: faculty going to their office, students hiding in bathrooms during
fire drills, etc.).
Although it may initially affect a particular group of people, it will in turn affect the
community on a broad spectrum.
Consequences of this problem include people not being prepared for actual events, which
could result in injury or loss of life. There may be a loss of physical or mental ability, which
could affect employment and quality of life. Lawsuits may occur due to inadequate training
and response.
Research will be conducted to see what students and staff know about emergency response
and their attitude towards drill procedures.

Possible Causes
After reviewing the completed evaluations from previous emergency drills at all three
Moraine Park Technical College campuses, we listed possible reasons why the drills were
not 100 percent successful. Using an affinity chart, we grouped issues into four categories:
Technical, Preparation, Participation, and Enforcement.
Technical
Sound system couldn’t be heard
Wrong alarm was activated
Alarm didn’t work or sounded scratchy
No speaker in some locations
Preparation
Faculty/Staff didn’t know some or all of
the procedure
Students didn’t know some or all of the
procedure
Participation
People didn’t care to participate
People didn’t want to be inconvenienced
People were busy
Enforcement
No one was held accountable
No procedure to follow to discipline students
not following the emergency drill
13. 13
Evaluation Outcome for Drills
Evaluations of previous emergency drills wereanalyzed so the results could be turned into
quantifiable data.For each occurrence a tally was marked based on the issue. The issues
included technical, preparation, participation. If the evaluation said there was a positive
outcome, it is reflected in the data. If the comments in the evaluation were confusing or
inconsistent, it was noted as inconclusive data.

Issues with Emergency Drills
Based on the previous pie charts, there appears to be a high level of issues that arise
causing the drills to be inefficiently executed. The table below describes the different
categories of issues. These issues are technical, preparation, and participation.
Issue Categories Definitions
Technical
There was a malfunction with the technology (ex: the speakers or the
alarm)
Preparation
The procedures were not followed correctly or fully because participants
didn’t know the exact procedure
Participation Occupants refuse to participate in the drill
The bar chart breaks down the issues for each campus. The numbers represent the number
of occurrences of each type of issue. Fond du Lac and West Bend campuses highest
occurrence of an issue is a lack of participation. Beaver Dam campus highest occurrence of
an issue is technical.

When the data is totaled for all campuses, we can see that overall participation problems
make up the largest percentage of issues with drill efficiency. This would suggest, if we
concentrated on fixing the issue with most occurrences, that our focus for Moraine Park as
a whole would be to fix the problem of participation.

Random Safety Drill Questionnaire
To better understand how much MPTC students and staff know about emergency drill
procedures, a safety drill questionnaire was given to a select group of people from all three
campuses. The table below shows the results of the questionnaire. The numbers in the
chart reflect the number of students. A total of 221 individuals including students and staff
were surveyed.

Root Cause Identification
A: They are not aware of how people respond in a real crisis situation or they
may feel overconfident in their ability to respond in a real emergency situation.
Q: Why do they feel it's unlikely to happen or they will know what to do if an
emergency happens?
A: Disbelief that real emergencies could occur and if it would, it’s believed they
would figure out what to do, most likely because they have never experienced a
real emergency.
Q: Why don't they feel it's important?
A: Because they feel it's not important.
Q: Why don't they want to be inconvenienced ?
A: Because they don't want to be inconvenienced.
Q: Why don't people want to participate?
A: Because they don't want to particpate.
Q: Why aren't people actively and willingly participating in emergency drills?
20. 20
Rationale for Root Cause Identification
Using the 5 Whys approach, our finding is that individuals on campus are not aware of how
people respond in a real crisis situation or they may feel overconfident in their ability to
respond in a real emergency situation. This tool was used because finding the answer to
why a lack of participation is happening on all three campuses is has to do more with the
psychological reasoning rather than a physical ability. The reason why faculty and staff
don’t want to participate may be different for different individuals but our reasoning is that
if people felt the threat of an emergency was real and they needed to be prepared, any
other factors that would discourage participation would be inconsequential. Individuals
would want to participate so they could be prepared.
22. 22
Needs and Wants Matrix for Solutions
In order to come up with reasonable solutions to the problem of emergency drill efficiency,
we created a list of needs and wants which could be obtain through a solution plan. The
“needs” are criteria that must be followed, mostly due to compliancy laws or to consider
the solution to be a success. The “wants” are criteria that would help the drills reach
optimal efficiency but aren’t necessarily required to be considered a successful solution.
Each criteria listed is to have a certain percentage completed by a certain time. For
example, within one semester, participation needs to be at 70 percent; within two
semesters, participation needs to be at 75 percent.

Recommended Solution Plan
Rationale for Step by Step Solution
According to our research, the problem with effectiveness of emergency drills is due to the
lack of participation on Moraine Park campuses as a whole. In order to address this issue,
we suggest creating a solution plan that follows steps in a particular order. By addressing
technical issues, preparation issues, participation issues, and issues with evaluation
inaccuracy, participation in emergency drills should increase.
Technical issues need to be addressed first because if the equipment is not working, we
cannot expect participation to by high. It is considered a critical issue. Preparation needs to
be addressed secondly, because if people do not know the procedure to follow,
participation will suffer. Lastly, evaluation inaccuracy should be mended. We cannot
accurately determine issues and fix them without proper documentation.
Technical Issues Solution
If a technical issue occurs during a drill, which should be documented in the drill
evaluations, a procedure to fix the problem should be in place. Adhering to a time frame is
also important. For example, if the overhead announcement could not be heard in a certain
room, the speaker should be checked by a professional within a week. The speaker should
be fixed within two weeks.
Preparation Issues Solution
On the first day of class, each instructor could be given a paper listing the emergency drill
procedures they will read to the class. During this time, instructors will notify students of
the exact nearest exit in case of a fire drill and the exact nearest tornado shelter in case of
severe weather. They will tell the students the lockdown procedure. This way, instructors
and students will have a plan of action in emergency situations as well as being prepared
for drills later in the semester. The procedures will be reinforced since it will be repeated
during each class’s first meeting.

Participation Issues Solution
By addressing the technical and preparation issues, participation should increase.
However, we would suggest going a step further by looking at solutions to encourage
participation. A poster campaign, with the help of the MPTC Graphics Club, could promote
participation in emergency drills by showing statistics about real life emergencies so the
campus body can see the importance of being prepared.
If a student refuses to participate in these mandatory drills, there should be consequences.
The students name should be written down and reported to the dean of students.
Issue of Evaluation Inaccuracies
During our research we found that the evaluations of the drills filled out by Moraine Park
appointed staff contained confusing comments. An evaluation would note that there were
student who did not participate, but then the documentation noted that the drill went well.
We suggest revising the questions on the evaluation so they are less vague and encourage
specific answers. If there is an issue that is documented, there should be a system in place
to address these issues in a timely manner.
Conclusion of Solution
In order to fix the problem of participation, we should be fixing the issues with technology
and lack of knowledge of drill procedures. Evaluation inaccuracies should be minimized for
effectiveness of documentation of emergency drills.
26. Implementation Activities and Timeline
A Gantt chart is used to schedule and monitor tasks. Each task is represented by a bar and has a start and end time. It’s a visual
way of seeing the length of time expected to start and complete projects as well as see what tasks need to be worked on
concurrently. This tool is being used to show the implementation timeline of activities associated with the Emergency Drill
Effectiveness Plan. The two-year plan will begin in August 2013 with the technical issue procedure form and conclude with
rewriting drill evaluation questions in August 2015. Completed tasks will be black while tasks yet to be completed are gray.
