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

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:
HIV
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
Source: CDC
• 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:
Blood
Semen
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.
