The security system in the school and pre-school educational institution is a whole range of measures to ensure protection conditions for all children, teaching and service personnel. The nature of the threat may be:
- technogenic character;
- social;
- natural.
The educational process involves not only educational activities, but also ensuring a safe environment in the learning process, which is conducted in several directions.
Counter Terrorism Measures
Activities include meetings and briefings, the interaction of the administration of the educational institution with parents, children, law enforcement agencies, and the Ministry of Emergencies.
The basis for the implementation of measures is the safety data sheet of the educational institution, an order of the director, other local documents created on the basis of current legislation.
Security measures
Protection of an institution may be carried out on a contractual basis with a specialized organization or by taking on staff of its own employees. The event also involves the creation of a number of local documents to guide the work of officials:
- facility security instructions;
- lists of full-time employees;
- access control conditions and procedures for security personnel in the event of an emergency.
In the safety data sheet of the educational institution, it is required to provide the necessary measures for the protection of the object, which it should have engineering and technical fortifications, metal fences, lighting throughout the territory.
Fire safety
These measures include providing the institution with all fire extinguishing means, from alarms to fire extinguishers. Mandatory strict observance of all safety standards, educational and propaganda activities among students and staff of the institution.
electrical safety
The management of the institution must ensure all safety measures (including the presence of warning signs), and prevent the use of improvised electrical appliances. It is required to control the deterioration of the electrical wiring and to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the switchboard.
civil defense
The safety data sheet of the educational institution DOE should contain a huge section on how personnel should act in emergency situations. Today, about 80% of all accidents are associated with irresponsibility and a low level of preparedness for action in emergency situations. Emergency situations arise not only against the backdrop of man-made activities of mankind, but also with an increase in the frequency of manifestation of the destructive forces of nature. The safety data sheet of the educational institution should contain information on how to understand the warning signals, which protection methods to use. Among children and staff, scheduled work on civil defense and emergency situations should be carried out.
Life safety
These measures for the administration of the institution should be a priority, be aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle, nurturing a responsible attitude of students to antisocial manifestations. The introduction of prevention can be based on training and study groups, an increase in the number of sports competitions.
Law Enforcement
In all educational institutions, a road safety certificate for the educational institution must be created, and class and extra-curricular programs to educate a culture of behavior on the road should be carried out.
The educational institution must have methodological documents for observance of traffic rules, keep a record of all accidents on the road in which students participated, take measures to prevent such situations in the future.
Development of a safety data sheet
The procedure for developing a comprehensive security passport of an educational institution involves the involvement of law enforcement agencies, the public, parents, support services in the process. The following points should be spelled out in this document:
- reduction of the severity of possible consequences after terrorist acts, crisis and emergency situations;
- counter-terrorism measures;
- security measures against sabotage and anti-terrorism activities;
- preventive actions.
In practice, the safety data sheet of an educational institution should contain information about:
- physical security of the institution and the entire territory;
- what projects have been implemented on the engineering and technical strength of the facility;
- compliance with labor protection, fire safety and electrical safety standards;
- civil defense planned activities;
- educational process procedure.
Development of a road safety passport
The development of a road safety passport of an educational institution should be accompanied by the participation of traffic police. At the first stage, existing developments are analyzed and necessary measures are determined. Unified forms of symbols are being developed. If in the immediate environment of the institution there are objects with similar conditions, then joint routes may be prescribed. The key places of mass presence of children are determined within the area of the educational institution. These events are carried out by a group consisting of representatives of an educational institution, the traffic police and the company that develops the passport (if any).
The practical implementation consists in creating an information stand (passport) in several versions:
- from metal;
- electronic LED;
- 3D layout;
- multimedia media;
- game, more designed for the smallest so that they can learn in a playful way the basics of behavior on the roads.
After development, a sample of the safety data sheet of the educational institution should be agreed with the leadership of the education department of the relevant region, local administration, police department. The safety data sheet is approved by the local police.
