INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM FOR SCHOOLS

UNIVERSAL RESPONSE PROCEDURES

Section 8.4 of CEMP

Lock Down

Shelter-in-Place

Evacuation

LOCK DOWN

• High to Severe Alert Response.• Limit entry and exit within your safe

area.• Cover and Conceal• No one enters your space. • Put as many barriers between you and

students and person who wants to do harm.

SHELTER-IN-PLACE

• Guarded Alert response.• Limit movement of students and staff.• Teaching and work can continue in

individual work space.

EVACUATION

On-site evacuation

Exit to exterior or alternate building

Reverse evacuation

Move back into building.

Off-site evacuationMove to location off-campus

MITIGATE HAZARDS

• Be aware of suspicious activity or odd behavior.

• Be vigilant to strange packages, items or substances.

• Listen to what is going on.• Immediately report suspicious activity

or potentially dangerous conditions.

BE PREPARED

Know the location of exits and how window exits work.

Keep rescue window clear.

Know your Universal Response

Procedures

RESPOND PROPERLY

Keep calm and assess the situation. Contact your Supervisor or Responders. Follow announced response measures.Evacuate, relocate or shelter in place. Identify yourself and cooperate with

responders.

STUDENT-ON-STUDENT VIOLENCE You are not required to physically intervene,

but you must take some action to control the situation:

Contact Security by phone (Ext. 289)

Contact Security by radio (Channel #1)

Contact the Operator (Dial 0) who will then

notify Security by radio.

Contact you supervisor.

SPECIFIC HAZARDS

FIRES Average of 6,000 structure fires per year occur

in schools in the U.S. They account for 88 civilian injuries and $90M

in direct property damage. Common causes in K-12 schools:

Trash fire

Cooking fire

Incendiary

* USFA study 2003-2006.

ASBESTOS Friable vs. non-friable Most school building constructed before

the mid-80’s have or had ACMs Asbestos Hazards Emergency Response

Act of 1986 (AHERA) Asbestos is present in some BOCES

buildings in secured or encapsulated form. According to EPA, the risk of airborne

fibers is very low.

LOCK-OUT / TAG-OUT

Method for protecting maintenance personnel from injury:

Electrical equipmentHydraulic equipmentPneumatic equipment

FIRST AID

Trained medical providers Contact School Nurse or Switchboard Making the call E-911

COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

Blood borne pathogens

Air borne pathogens

BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS

Definition: “a micro-organism that may be present in blood or body fluids that can cause disease in humans”.

Bloodborne viruses include:

HBV (Hep-B)

HCV (Hep-C)

HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS

HIV damages immune system. Causes AIDS Infected people represent all ages, races, sexes

and lifestyles. There is no vaccine or cure. Spread by contact with infected blood or body

fluids. NYS has highest prevalence of HIV/AIDs

HEPATITIS B AND C VIRUS

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus or toxin.

Transmitted by exposure to infected blood or body fluids.

HEPATITIS B AND C VIRUS

Can be acute or chronic. Can lead to scarring of the liver

(cirrhosis) and liver cancer. 1.25 million in US have chronic HBV. HBV is 100 times more infectious that

HIV HCV is the leading cause of liver

transplants

• Fever• Fatigue• Loss of appetite• Nausea• Vomiting

• Abdominal pain• Dark urine• Clay-colored

bowel movements• Joint pain• Jaundice

ACUTE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

CHRONIC HBV AND HBC INFECTION

Chronic HBV and HCV are often described as ‘silent diseases’.

Most chronic victims remain asymptomatic until the onset of cirrhosis or end-stage liver disease.

They don’t know they are carriers, and neither will you.

Exposure to infectious body fluids:

Vaginal fluid

Breast milk

Cerebrospinal fluid

Other body materials with visible blood

BBP TRANSMISSION

LIFESTYLE PRECAUTIONS

Avoid unprotected sex Avoid promiscuous sex Avoid sex with IV drug users Do not share IV needles

UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS

Treat ALL blood and body fluids as though they are infectious.

Avoid exposure by using protective barriers. (i.e., nonporous gloves, goggles)

Prevent penetrating injuries with proper engineering and procedures. (i.e., sharps containers, self-retracting needles)

HEPATITIS B VACCINE

Provides protection against HBV up to 15 years or more.

May prevent infection if given within 1 week of exposure.

Employees with risk of occupational exposure should get vaccinated.

Vaccine is offered at no cost to designated ‘at-risk’ employees.

AT RISK EMPLOYEES School nurses Health care faculty Custodians Maintenance workers Special Education, Administrators Teachers

and TAs Bus Drivers and Aides Security officers Job coaches

GOOD SAMARITAN ACTS

Voluntary acts which result in exposure to blood or other potentially infection materials are not considered an occupational exposure unless the employee is designated to do so (i.e., school nurse providing first aid)

However, in such cases the District will offer post-exposure evaluation and follow-up.

PROTECT YOURSELF

If you are classified as an at-risk employee, request HBV vaccine series.

Wear disposable gloves if blood or possibly infectious body fluids are present.

Avoid handling broken glass or uncapped needles.

Clean up should be done by designated custodial staff.

POST-EXPOSURE ACTIONS

Wash needle sticks and cuts with soap and water.

Flush splashes to the nose, mouth or skin with

water. Irrigate eyes with clean water, saline, or sterile

irrigants.

Report exposure to the nurse, who will initiate the evaluation and follow-up process.

AIR BORNE PATHOGEN

Disease causing micro-organisms that may be present in sputum and body fluids that can be spread by droplet or air borne transmission.

INFLUENZA VIRUS

A viral infection which is spread by close contact with an infected person.

The infection may cause discomfort, fever and in some extreme cases death.

N Spikes

H Spikes

Viral Antigens

INFLUENZA

Caused by the seasonal influenza virus and in some cases alternate viruses.

H1N1 (Swine Flu)Spreads similarly to seasonal flu

Source: CDC

ELIMINATION OF EXPOSURE

Sick students and staff stay home. Deny entry of sick visitors. Social distancing. Isolate students with flu-like symptoms.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Reduce the hazard by removing the hazard or isolating the worker from the hazard.

Waterless soapVaccinations- Protect against seasonal or H1N1.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Surgical gloves N-95 respirators Gloves

WORK PRACTICE CONTROLS

Do not share glasses or utensils Limit physical contact, like shaking hands “Cough and sneeze etiquette” Wash hands often

HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS…

Best way to avoid spreading disease.
