...In order to keep everyone safe indoors and outdoors, I look for hazards in the area where the children will be playing, learning, and exploring. Before entering students should know the proper rules and procedures ahead of time in case of an emergency. Which means procedures and rules should be practiced at least once a week for a month or until there is no need for assistance. Staff should be fully trained and well equipped given an emergency during any time. Even if no assistance is needed supervision is always required, as well as supplies, materials, and equipment at hand or is known to be in a close range. To keep everyone healthy indoors and outdoors, I make sure sanitary procedures are stated and present. When entering or exiting an area students, staff, and classroom equipment should be well sanitized daily. For example hand washing before and after eating along with when children are playing indoors and outdoors. Staff should sanitize before and after dealing with each child to prevent the transferring of germs. Rest and nutrition are also a very important role in a child’s everyday life. Students should be immediately tended to when dealing with allergy emergencies no matter how severe. Naps are required in a child care center, children should have a chance to rest during the day specifically children ages new born to five. To ensure I create an active learning environment indoors and outdoors, I keep activities active and very communicative. I like for the kids...

...firefighter has to deploy several tactics to counter panicking moments and make residents feel at ease. Firefighters have a specific dress code, and it is interesting to know that the dress code instills some form of confidence to fire victims. When these victims see a firefighter in full fire combat, they feel at ease and adhere strictly to the orders they are given. A firefighter should, therefore, ensure that they are in their uniform when responding to such scenarios. Further, delays and bulky procedures tend to increase panic among the victims. There should be an easy procedure that will allow the evacuation of victims as fast as possible especially to the crowded places. Movements should be controlled to ease the overcrowding and possibly reduce the number of casualties. Firefighters should also provide emergency lighting facilities as in most instances fire emergencies cause blackouts, and if victims were left out in the darkness, they are likely to panic even more. Providing emergency lights allows victims to trace their easiest way out of the building. The exits should be well labelled to avoid directing the evacuees to risk areas that would subject them to more danger. References Freedman, M. (2015). Fighting Fire in the Sierra National Forest.

Usually Hazcards are used by the technician’s room in the schools. Before students start an activity in the laboratory they should always complete a Risk Assessment. A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in their work, could cause harm to people, so that they can weigh up whether they have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill. A risk assessment should tell us what the hazards are, what the risks are, how to minimise the risks and what to do in an emergency. Health and Safety Executive This law was introduced in 1974 The law on health and safety at work in Great Britain is regulated by the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities. As controllers, our role is to determine that businesses are effectively and proportionately managing their health and safety risks to workers and others. To do this, we use a range of interventions to influence, encourage and advise business and, where necessary, hold to account those who fail to meet their...

...Problem Statement Greg James, a global manager at Sun Microsystems, has found himself in a difficult situation after his teams failed to respond to a customer’s outage. James’s main problems are that his teams have a support system that fails to address emergency situations and that James has poor, inefficient communication with his teams that leads to unhappiness in the workplace. Analysis Sun Microsystems uses a support systems that queues problems for resolution. The situation for HS Holdings went into a queue that is designed to keep track of missing contract numbers. Since there is no queue system for emergencies, it took several hours for anyone of importance to notice the issue. Jamal, the programmer that created the queue system, stated his assignment was to create a queue for accounts with missing contract numbers. Never was Jamal communicated to create a program that dealt with emergencies such as when a client’s servers go down. The problem here is that Sun Microsystems does not have an emergency situation protocol. With a fail proof support system, one that is designed to deal with emergencies, James would not be traveling across the globe to meet with each of him teams. Sun Microsystems also fails from poor and inefficient communications from James to his teams which has caused unhappiness. If this problem is left uncheck, employee morale will decrease and Sun Microsystems could start to see themselves with a high employee turnover. One of the biggest reasons...

...Abstract This report is filed to illustrate the A competent ambulance volunteer is expected to have certain characteristics that would enable them to overcome difficulties and emergencies. The results of this study indicate that courage, composure, optimistic attitudes and spirit of cooperation are the four most vital characteristics for an ambulance volunteer. Based on our study, we strongly recommend ambulance organizations to provide practical training with self-rescue knowledge, build optimistic attitudes and cultivate spirit of cooperation when training volunteers. 1.0 Introduction In nowadays society, increased attentions are gathered on public safety emergencies. Amongst one of the most important rescue and evacuation tools, the demand for ambulance is increasing rapidly. However, not everyone is suitable for handling ambulances. This study explores the qualities and characteristics individuals ought to have to become a successful ambulance volunteer, and provides recommendations for ambulance organizations on how to hire the appropriate personnel. All data and findings used in this report are obtained from official websites and academic journals. 2.0 Findings According to Shylen (2008), the demand for ambulance services is increasing dramatically in Australia, but the number of ambulance volunteers is gradually decreasing, with obvious drop-offs in numbers certain volunteer positions. These positions need a large amount of new employees. The qualities and characteristics...

...“PATIENTS & HEALTH PROCEDURES” Hazard materials are solids, liquids, or gases that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. They are often subject to chemical regulations. (www.iata.org, DGR) Hazardous materials exposures and chemical terrorism presents an unusual mechanism of injury. Patients exposed to hazardous materials must be decontaminated. If a patient is not decontaminated, the hospital emergency department and other patient can be exposed. (Mass Causality and High Impact Command, page 99) Are you aware of any procedures that should be taken when It comes to decontamination within the health and medical services? There are several essential steps that will be discussed pertaining to Health and Medical Services. First step that will be discussed is Control. Control is very important and also considered a key factor. You must Control the spreading of the infected or contaminated from the ambulance up to hospital staff. “Even though written procedures might be into place, actual demonstrations of these procedures during an exercise will point out if further training is needed or if procedures should be revised.”(ntl.bts.gov, 254) Next, you will need to find out if the medical facilities know how to retrieve and use necessary medical and other data for diagnosing and treating victims exposed to hazardous materials. “Many of the local hospitals will not be able to treat exposed victims without consultation with medical experts...

...Before joining the Fire Department, I didn’t have a clue as to what it entailed. I knew that committing to the department wasn’t going to be casual; still I was surprised as to how much it demanded from me. In order to learn how to act during emergency situations, there were monthly company drills (training exercises) that we were required to attend. Sometimes the training was very intense, although they were highly controlled, it was always dangerous. A common exercise was entering a multi-storied building with fires at various locations, which we had to find and put out. The drill was highly teamwork oriented and required concise communication in making our way around. Other drills ranged from practicing force-entry into buildings to getting into full turnout gear with an SCBA ready to use. We had even purchased a junkyard car to set on fire in order to practice putting out car fires. Many of the fire related calls were minor or false alarms. Although there were some actual fire crises, many of the emergencies were medical. Some people are surprised to find out that the local fire department runs many of the ambulances. Some calls I responded to were: overdoses, heart attacks, and the elderly falling in their home. Usually an EMT on scene would check the patient and decide whether or not they needed hospitalization. If they did need medical attention, we would get them on the stretcher and bring them to the local hospital. I’d say being a volunteer at the CPFD had...

...foreseeable as the paint was labelled Toxic (Kent v Griffiths). Then we look if Susan had sufficient proximity with Tim, this means the claimant and the defendant have to be close to each other at the time of the negligence, and this can either be in relationship, time or space. In Susan’s case she was in sufficient proximity as she was there in time and space and she also had proximity due to her relationship as Tim’s carer (Bourhill v Young). The final question is, is it reasonable to impose a duty of care on Susan, this relates to issues of policy. This test is used to prevent the ‘floodgates opening’ (Hill v CC or West Yorkshire), as Sarah doesn’t work for an emergency service she would not lead to a floodgate issue. As Sarah passes all of the questions, then Susan would’ve owed Tim a duty of care. 11. Under the Civil Procedure Rules judges are expected to manage a case.

...Burgess (9003075) BUS 3210 Unit 2 Mini Project The club constitution sets forth the establishment of the club or assembly as it may be termed. The constitution will most likely also have by-laws. The constitution and the by-laws are somewhat similar in structure but serve different purposes. “The constitution contains the fundamental principles of an organization and determines the responsibilities and rights of its officers and members. The by-laws deal with the detailed procedures and working guidelines of the organization and determine the routine operations of the organization” (A Constitution and bylaws workbook for prospective student organizations at Salem University). The constitution will spell out the assignment of officer positions within the club such as the president and vice president. Additional special assignments such as the treasurer, secretary and others may also be added as deemed necessary. As stated previously the constitution may also contain bylaws. These are more specific rules or laws such as meeting times, dues, membership requirements and voting privileges. A well written constitution will also state that these bylaws cannot be changed without some type of review and approval by the club before they can be changed. The degree of review is set forth in the constitution and bylaws. For example, if the bylaws state that the monthly meeting will be held on the third Monday of the month, which by law cannot be changed without a review and...

...Supreme Court of the United States, In the case of the Supreme Court of the United States, Michael D. Crawford v. Washington. Michael Crawford was tried for assault and attempted murder for stabbing a man who was named, Kenneth Lee. Crawford stabbed Lee at his apartment on on August 5,1999. Police arrested petitioner later that night. Crawford claimed he had acted in self-defense when he believed Lee had picked up a weapon. Lee denied doing anything that might make Crawford believe he was trying to attack him. Michael Crawford contended that Lee had attempted to rape his wife, Sylvia. The police arrested him for the stabbing, and after giving both Michael and his wife, Sylvia, Miranda warnings, they interrogated both husband and wife twice. The statement Michael challenged under the Confrontation Clause came from a tape recorded interrogation of Sylvia. In her second interrogation, she gave a version of the fight between Michael and the alleged victim that at least appeared inconsistent with her husband’s self-defense claim. Sylvia’s tape recorded statement was introduced at trial against Michael even though he had no opportunity for cross examination. In reviewing the statement’s admission by the trial court, the Washington Court of Appeals and Washington Supreme Court applied slightly different tests grounded in the framework described by...
