COMMON SAFETY VIOLATIONS FOUND IN SCHOOL CLASSROOMS
From Dan Dummit, Assistant Director of Maintenance
Diagram of Common Safety Violations Found in School Classrooms. For any safety concerns in your school, report the hazards to your school administrator and/or school safety team asap.
LOCKDOWN! “LOCKS, LIGHT, OUT OF SIGHT”
Did you know that any staff person can call for the school to lockdown?
When: A LOCKDOWN should be called when there is something dangerous inside (or very close to) the building.
How: Pick up a school phone and dial *9. This will access the school intercom.
Say: Once the school intercom has been accessed, say “LOCK DOWN, LOCK, LIGHTS, OUT OF SIGHT“.
GO: Go to a room that locks. Turn out the lights. Move away from sight. Remain silent. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR (even if someone knocks and says they are law enforcement). Once the scene is safe and secure, law enforcement and/or school administration will unlock the door and provide instructions on what to do next.

OSNA is looking for school nurses to help with development of scope and standards for the school nurse manual (ongoing work group, 18 months). Additionally, OSNA is looking for school nurses to help with toolkit development (specific medical condition and nurse practice toolkit).
