Health, safety and environments

1. Role of School Manager:
Institutional Tasks
Health, Safety and Environments

2. Part 1 : Health

3. Introduction: Principal of Hygiene
Some physical health issues that occur because of the
condition under which people have to live while they
rebuild their lives.
The WHO defines health as “a state of complete physical,
mental and social wellbeing and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity”.
Hygiene is defined as “the principles and laws governing
the preservation of health and their practical
application; practice conducive to good health it may
refer to keeping clean in order to prevent diseases and
maintain health”.

4. 5 Basic Principles of hygiene
1. Wash hands with soap after using toilet and
before eat meal
2. Daily bath
3. Do not spit and cover nose
4. Use purified and boiled water, keep water
covered
5. Wash fruit before eating fruit

5. Risk Condition and Prevention
Risk condition
• Poor sanitation,
inadequate water
condition,
• poor personal hygiene
Prevention,minimization,
intervention
Sanitation facilities,
Water purification
Personal hygiene, ORS
(treatment only)
Effective surveillance
systems to prevent or
minimize disease
outbreaks

6. Cont.
Risk condition
• Inadequate shelter Poor
health care services
• Overcrowding
Lack of food,
malnutrition
• Rainy season
Prevention,minimization,
intervention
• Improved shelter
(especially from wind
but ensuring
ventilation) Dry clothes
when wet.
• Use of antibiotics with
doctor’s Consultation

7. Conclusion
• Basic health and hygiene are more difficult in
situations of disaster and lack of infrastructure
in place. In situations like KPK, Balochistan,
and Sindh (natural and man made disaster at
peak), it is important to reinforce the basic
principles as people who are under stress
often neglect these basics and so children may
not learn appropriately.

8. Part 2 : Safety, its mean
A safety in school, where their
children can be safe from all types of
hazards and risks.

9. How???
School safety are listed below
• Encouragement of adoption of seismic resistant/Fire
resistance building
• Construct the school building have exist door
• Raising awareness and enhancing school risk management
knowledge and skills through capacity building and training
programs
• Promotion to install fire extinguishers in school safety
• Use of standardize electricity wiring and sanitation facilities

10. Main problems
• Lock Down (initial physical response
to provide a time barrier)
• Evacuation(Move out from building )
• Shelter-In-Place(refuge camp for
students)
• Room Clear
• Bomb Threat
• Relocating Students
• Releasing Students
• Fire/Explosion
• Active shooter(armed assailant)
• Bus Accident(educational trip )
• Procedures for an Internal Chemical
or Hazardous Spill(in lab etc.)
How to Handle it
• Methods of communication
• First Aid equipment
• Water, food, medical supplies for
special needs students
• Student Information
• Emergency Operations Manual at
every desk that covers evacuation,
lockdown, shelter-in-place, room
clear, bomb threat, drop, cover and
hold, relocating students, releasing
students
Crisis Plan

11. Emergency Preparedness and
Response
• Police Department
• Fire Department
• Emergency Management Agency
• Red Cross
• Health Department

12. Chemical Hygiene and Safety Plan
(CHSP)
1. Familiarize with the potential hazards of various chemical substances
2. Avoid unnecessary exposure to chemicals by any route
3. Wash areas of exposed skin before leaving the laboratory
4. Do not eat, drink, smoke , gum chew, or apply of cosmetics in laboratory
5. Do not keep food and drink in the laboratory
6. Do not use laboratory glassware or utensils for food or beverages
7. Do not allow practical jokes
8. Confine long hair and loose clothing
9. Avoid wearing open-toed shoes
10. Wear protective clothing and goggles
11. Do not work alone in the laboratory
12. Never leave an experiment unattended
13. Do not use mouth suction for piping or starting a siphon
14. Work safely with laboratory equipment and chemicals
15. Store chemicals properly
16. Warning signs and labels

13. Part 3 :
School Environment , its mean
There are lot of architectural and aesthetic
aspects related to a school's hygienic needs, such
as:
• school's building plan,
• safe water supply, disposition of waste,
• emergency lighting,
• heating and ventilation, as well as
• adequate school facilities (halls, classrooms, and
common areas) and furniture.

14. School Location and its environment
• Due to health reasons (influence of noise,
exhaust gases from vehicles, and potential risk of
accident), schools in an urban and suburban
areas should be located more than 100 meters
away from major traffic and causeways.
• Some studies suggest it is best to orient and
design a school building so that natural light can
be a part of the lighting scheme of the school,
and that buildings should avoid being placed in
a valley, due to air quality issues.
