In our school we create a group of students in our school which was trained in first aid (Bleeding, Burns, Fractures, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) and protection measures and techniques during an earthquake, floods and wildfires by volunteers from PRO.T.E.K.T.A., with the aim of creating a crisis management team within the school. The said team, composed of pupils, teachers and the school principal, could be involved in planning-preparation and crisis response in school but also in contact with other institutions such as the Fire Brigade, Police Directorate, Mental Health Service, E.K.A.B. Furthermore, it shall cooperate with medical services in order to fully utilize local health institutions or health specialists -such as municipal nurses, local health center clinicians, rural doctors or private individuals such as general practitioners, neighborhood pharmacists or Red Cross volunteers- and keep a phone book with emergency phone numbers of doctors, hospitals, qualified medical staff etc. who can immediately respond and help.

EXTRACT OF THE EVACUATION PLAN
On hearing the alarm
- Students have to move in a quiet and orderly fashion to the Evacuation Area, following the leader student.
- Students temporarily out of their class (i.e. library) must move to the evacuation area with another class group.
- Students are to line up in their form class groups.
- During any evacuation, student should: act responsibly. Don’t hide or fool around, look after each other’s safety.
In case of earthquake:
- Do not panic, keep calm.
- If the earthquake catches you indoors, stay indoors. Take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture. Stay away from glass.
- If you are outside, move away from buildings.
- If you are in an elevator, get out of the elevator as quickly as possible.
In case of fire:
- Keep calm
- Do not use elevators
- Carry out instructions
SECURITY FORMATION STUDENTS OF THE FIRST YEAR
Students of our school are required to learn an Evacuation Plan since the first year. More specifically, they need to locate where the emergency exits and collection points are. Furthermore, each student should memorize the most appropriate security route, according to the location of his classroom or laboratory in the building, in order to guarantee the quickest evacuation possible. SECURITY
PROCEDURES FOR LABORATORIES
Students attending the first year also need to undertake the so-called "Formation/information" course, in order to learn the proper security procedures and the correct behavior when working in the Physic and Chemistry's Laboratories.
WORKING EXPERIENCES (OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL)
At the third year of school, when students begin some of the required working experiences, they are asked to undertake a four-hours security course, alongside an additional four-hours course (the so-called "Low Risk") in order to teach them the correct behavior to maintain in the work places.
TEACHERS AND "ATA" STAFF FORMATION
"Ata" is an acronym which stands for "Administrative, Technical and Auxiliary" Stuff. Alongside teachers, these people are required to undertake two four-hours security courses ("Medium Risk") in order to manage eventual emergency situations which may occur in the school. (According to decree 81)
"BLS COURSE"
"BLS" stands for "Basic Life Support". It is a first aid course with the purpose of teaching students of the first year to manage an eventual case of heartbreak. More specifically, it coaches to:
- Recognize a heartbreak by his signs and symptoms
- Call the emergency number and communicate with the operators
- Accomplish the operators'instructions while waiting for the aids to come
Students who complete the course are given a certification and become "laic operators", which means that they are able to succurr, possibly in the first ten minutes. As a matter of fact, the first ten minutes can be determinant in saving a life, since aids usually don't arrive in this timelapse and it's important to maintain the victim of a hearth attack alive while wainting for them.
OTHER SAFETY COURSES
Our school also offers the possibility to attend a Fire Security, in order to manage the security procedures during a fire, and a First Aid course.
LAB SAFETY RULES
- Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the laboratory.
- Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a direction or part of a procedure, ask your teacher before proceeding with the activity.
- Never work alone in the laboratory. No student may work in the science classroom without the presence of the teacher.
- Do not eat food, drink beverages, or chew gum in the laboratory. Do not use laboratory glassware as containers for food or beverages.
- Observe good housekeeping practices. Work areas should be kept clean and tidy at all times.
- Experiments must be personally monitored at all times. Do not wander around the room, distract other students, startle other students or interfere with the laboratory experiments of others.
