&nbs= p; Stude= nt/Visitor Incident Report

A. ALL ACCIDENTS TO VISITORS MUST BE REPORTED. The Visitor Accident/Incident Report form is completed by the student whenever a visitor injures him/herself on school property. The form is found at http://intranet.ocps.= k12.fl.us/riskmanagement/pdfdisclaimer.asp?URL=3D/riskmanagement/pdffiles/v= istoraccidentreport.pdf and should be turned in to the payroll clerk within 24 hours.

Severe Wea= ther Safety

A. Students should know the difference between a = WATCH and a WARNING.

Severe Weather Watches and Warnings Definitions<= o:p>

Tornado Watch: Conditions are conducive to the development of tornadoes in and close to the watch area.

Tornado Warning: A tornado has actually been sighted by spotter= s or indicated on radar and is occurring or imminent in the warning area.

Severe Thundersto= rm Watch: Conditions are conducive to the development of severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.

Severe Thundersto= rm Warning: A severe thundersto= rm has actually been observed by spotters or indicated on radar, and is occurring = or imminent in the warning area.

Tropical Storm Watch: Tropical storm conditions with sustained winds= from 39 to 73 mph are possible in the watch area within the next 36 hours.<= /o:p>

Tropical Storm Wa= rning: Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area within the next 24 hours.

Hurricane Watch: Hurricane conditions (sustained winds greater = than 73 mph) are possible in the watch area within 36 hours.

Hurricane Warning= : Hurricane conditions are expected in the warni= ng area in 24 hours or less.

B. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes develop suddenly. There may not be time for the National Weather Service to issue a tornado WARNING before one strikes.

C.&n= bsp; A severe weather warning rad= io alarm unit is located in Student Services. A loud signal followed by announce= ments will alert Student Services personnel when severe weather is in the area.

D.&n= bsp; If a tor= nado WARNING alarm is issued, Student Services personnel will notify the administrator on duty to announce an immediate hazardous weather evacuation= .

E.&n= bsp; Students= in portable classrooms should be escorted to sturdier buildings and are assign= ed as follows:

3D"DOL OSHA Guidelines – Work Practice Controls

= ;

&= nbsp; <= /a>

A. Work Pra= ctice Controls are rules that ensure students perform procedures in the safest way possible. The concept of Univ= ersal Precautions, which recommends that all blood and potentially infectious materials other than blood must be handled as if infected, is a basic tenet= of the OSHA regulations. Specific procedures for handling Biohazardous waste, sharps, and other potentially pathogenic substances are established in health science programs.

B. Hand-w= ashing: This is a very necessary basic procedure. The OSHA regulations req= uire hand-washing as soon as possible after removal of gloves or other personal protective equipment. A student must never assume that wearing gloves, for example, is foolproof protection. Even if the integrity of a glove i= s not compromised, the act of taking it off can lead to exposure. After any skin or mucous membrane contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials, the student m= ust wash the affected area with soap and water. When running water is not immediat= ely available, the student must use an antiseptic hand cleanser. Students are still required to was= h with running water as soon as possible thereafter.

C. E= ating, drinking, and hygiene: Do not eat or drink in classroom a= reas where there is any risk of occupational exposure. The rule extends also to smoking, applying cosmetics, and handling contact lenses. All students must wash their hands after using the restroom.

D. Routine Cleaning: students are responsible for seeing that their work = areas are kept clean and sanitary. Computer keyboards and mice are major sources of germs and infection. Keep yours clean!!= ! Your instructor has eas= y to use cleaning materials in the classroom for your use

E. Broken Glass: Students must never= pick up by hand any broken glassware that may be contaminated. Sharp edges could easily break the= skin, allowing pathogens to enter. = Recommended mechanical means of cleanup include use of a brush and dust pan, tongs, or forceps.

Safety Practices for All Students=

A.&n= bsp; All stud= ents must be aware of safety procedures and practices in their classrooms.<= /o:p>

B.&n= bsp; No obstructions are allowed in corridors or in front of exit doors. Classroom doors must be unlocked w= hen students are present.

C.&n= bsp; Exit sig= ns and lights shall be lighted and kept in good condition.

D.&n= bsp; All students must be knowledgea= ble about the location and operation of fire extinguishers.

Th= e basic types of fires:

a.&n= bsp; Class A

&nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; i. &nb= sp; Fueled by ordinary combustible materials such as wood, trash, or clothes

b.&n= bsp; Class B

&nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; i. &nb= sp; Fueled by flammable liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, propane gas, and some plastics

c.&n= bsp; Class C

&nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; i. &nb= sp; Ignited = and heated by electricity

ð Our classroom has a fire extinguisher at each exit they are good for Class A = B C fires. Read = and understand how to use them.

ð P-A-S-S method

1. Pull the pin

2. Aim low at the base of the fire

3. Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher

4. Sweep back and forth across the base of the fi= re

Know where= all your fire alarms are located.

= ;

Emergency intercom button. Push to talk to main student services office.

Intercom button

E. = All students must be alert to hazardous condi= tions and report these to your teacher.

F.&n= bsp; All stud= ents will use protective latex gloves for any first aid emergency when body flui= ds are present. School personnel will give= first aid supplies (bandages, tape) to the victim to apply.

Ask your teachers for gloves, we have plenty of th= em.

G.&n= bsp; Fire/evacuation drills will be conducted monthly. This means 10 fire drills each year! The nature of the= drills will be evacuation exercises. All occupants of the school will participate by evacuating the school and remai= ning at the outer perimeter of the nearest parking lot until the “All Clear” signal is given.

H.&n= bsp; Our classroom has two electrical safety shutdown switches in the classroom and in the teacher’s office.
