TOPIC 1
Plan and Prepare Tasks to be Undertaken
Planning
- is a process of preparing for change
and development and for deciding how to best
manage or influence those changes. Planning is
also directed at resolving specific problem
issues or conflicts.
Assessment- Students need to be
aware of internal and external risk
factors and the consequences of any
damage/ failure on their hand tools.
Prevention- The student should identify
which hand tools is damaged.
Preparation of plans- A plan will be
required to be realistic, flexible and
meet all the assessed needs of a
student at the same time the hand
tools itself and the likely needs of
recipients of the emergency response.
Education- Anyone involved to any
extent in an emergency plan should
be aware of his role and be given the
opportunity to practice actually doing
it.
Testing / Exercising- Any plan must be
tested to ensure that it encompasses all the
outcomes of known or reasonably
foreseeable risks and that it would be
effective in providing a sufficient and timely
response.
Review- There are a number of
circumstances in which a plan may need to
be reviewed. Following any test of a plan, or
its use in an emergency situation, it is
important to analyze whether the planned
response was fully effective.
Response- The student should respond to
incidents as part of their core activities.
An emergency situation does absolve
teachers and students from their
responsibilities, for their health and safety.
All emergency plans should therefore take
account of the need to maintain the highest
possible standards of safety.
