Measures for safety management in primary and secondary schools

Introduction: Primary and middle school students are at an important stage of physical and mental growth and development. Their physical and psychological functions are not yet fully mature, they have poor self-prevention capabilities and weak safety awareness, making them more prone to accidents. Especially in recent years, incidents of teachers corporally punishing students, student food poisoning incidents, black school bus incidents, teaching building stampedes, and campus fire incidents have not only caused great harm to students, but have also attracted widespread attention from society. Methods of Safety Management in Primary and Secondary Schools

1. Common Problems in Safety Management of Primary and Secondary School Students

Since the minds and bodies of primary and secondary school students are still in the development period, they still cannot control themselves when doing things, and are often safe Weak consciousness, lack of self-protection ability, and prone to accidental injuries. Analysis of the factors that make primary and secondary school students prone to safety accidents include the following points.

1. Campus and surrounding environmental issues

Creating a stable and harmonious campus environment is the barrier to students’ education and growth. Therefore, ensuring student safety mainly lies in the school and surrounding environment. , and most of today's schools only focus on the educational environment, but do not pay attention to hardware facilities and safety publicity. There are many safety hazards on campus. Cars are parked arbitrarily in front of the school, and private cars picking up children from and to school are densely packed, occupying the sidewalks, and traffic The situation is dire. The school entrance is very close to the street, and the flow of people after get off work and work is very dense. Whenever students enter and leave the campus, they are directly threatened by motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Some Internet cafes and other social entertainment places around the school have a large number of people coming and going, which also poses a threat to the safety of students.

2. Food Safety

In recent years, collective food poisoning incidents among primary and secondary school students have been common, and there have been many cases of soy milk poisoning alone. From 2001 to 2004, 500,000 students in Liaoning Province alone were reported to have been poisoned by soy milk they drank. In addition, large-scale poisoning incidents among primary and secondary school students also occurred in Sichuan, Jilin and other provinces and cities. The main reason for these incidents is the lax control of purchase channels, lax canteen management, unqualified food and kitchen hygiene, and imperfect school food hygiene systems, which resulted in collective poisoning. There is also the randomness of the "small dining table" business, which is also a hidden danger that causes food safety problems.

3. Traffic safety

Traffic accidents have recently become a hot topic of safety issues for primary and secondary school students in my country. Recently, school buses have been overloaded and fire accidents have occurred frequently. Traffic accidents often occur on the road. The number of private cars in our country is increasing, the quality of driver training is not high, and traffic accidents are on the rise. Because primary and secondary school students are in an innocent stage, have poor self-control ability, and are small in size, they are prone to neglecting to comply with traffic rules and are prone to traffic accidents. In recent years, traffic accident casualties among primary and secondary school students have risen to a very serious situation, especially in big cities, where traffic conditions are complex and people move frequently, creating certain unsafe factors. Most middle school students ride bicycles, and the neglect of bicycle safety education is also a hidden cause of traffic accidents among middle school students.

4. Fire accidents

With more and more primary and secondary schools and more and more types of teaching buildings, primary and secondary school students study indoors and live longer and longer. The longer the length, the more prominent the fire prevention problem of the teaching building becomes. School buildings are getting taller and taller, fire protection equipment is not fully covered, there are many students and few teachers, and students have low ability to respond to fires. In the event of an emergency, students are not able to evacuate well, and the response to fire extinguishing cannot be in place in time. Fires can easily cause mass casualties. . The "Second Classroom" and other training classes that primary and secondary school students attend after school are almost all in rented houses, with unclear safety responsibilities, outdated classroom environments, and unreasonable arrangements for escape routes, which are also key links in fires.

2. Analysis of accident causes and research on management methods

The main reasons for the above-mentioned safety accidents are as follows: First, the school itself neglects safety management. There is a safety department, and whether the safety management personnel are professional and full-time directly affects the safety management of students. The safety officer's responsibility is not only to ensure the safety of the school environment, but also to frequently check the safety of students' activities during student activities and classes.

Secondly, safety education in schools is insufficient.

While focusing on teaching quality, primary and secondary schools must also cultivate students' safety awareness, cultivate students' awareness of complying with social behavioral norms, and emphasize that students must abide by discipline.

Third, the school’s escape drills and practical education are not enough. The school lacks unified large-scale safety drills and students’ hands-on ability education, and the cultivation of students’ psychological quality is also relatively lacking.

Fourth, safety issues should be focused on prevention. Insufficient investigation of potential safety hazards in schools is the root cause of school safety accidents.

The specific management methods and preventive measures include: First, strengthen safety knowledge training for teachers. The school safety department must conduct regular safety training for teachers every week and regularly check teachers’ practical ability to practice emergency situations.

The second is to strengthen the safety construction of school buildings. In the construction of every facility on campus, we must start with the input of materials, strictly prevent corruption, and strictly prohibit cutting corners. When introducing facilities, we must also consider whether there are potential safety hazards.

The third is to strengthen the configuration of safety facilities. The school should open special escape routes, mark escape signs in the building, and fire-fighting facilities should be within the control of teachers and be able to cover the entire teaching area.

The fourth is to strengthen school bus safety inspections to ensure that school buses are not overloaded and risk-free. At the intersection near the school where students go to school, teachers should be arranged to organize crossings. On the way to school, they should organize queuing to cross the road and line up to leave the school. Children should be allowed out of school only after parents are guaranteed to pick them up. We work with the regional Contact the public security traffic police and work with the traffic police on duty during school hours to ensure the traffic safety of students.

The fifth is to strengthen safety education for students: First, let students develop a habit of observing discipline and listening to instructions. Secondly, we must strengthen escape drills and collective actions, and promote the concept of unity and friendship. Third, let students develop hygiene habits, strengthen physical fitness and hands-on ability training, and directly improve students' physical safety resilience from the perspective of physical health. Fourth, strengthen the cultivation of children's psychological quality, so that students can have a mental foreknowledge of accidents and accidents. Before an accident may occur, students should consciously stay away from dangerous behaviors. When an accident occurs, they should have the ability to avoid subconsciously. Ability to adjust within a short period of time after being frightened. Fifth, parents should also be reminded of safety awareness. Let parents educate students more on traffic safety and food safety, and pay more attention to their own words and deeds, so as to cooperate with the school in better safety management.

3. Conclusion

All sectors of society have the responsibility to strengthen the safety management of primary and secondary school students. All sectors of society must do a good job in education and publicity, on roads, public places, and tourist attractions, etc. Particular attention should be paid to the safety of minors and clear posters and banners should be hung to promote student safety knowledge. The public security and fire department should send special personnel to schools to promote and provide guidance. Departments such as the Youth Federation and the Red Cross Society should regularly go to schools to give lectures on physical and mental health. The entire society takes practical actions to care for the growth of children, so that students can have a truly safe environment and strive to create a healthy and safe space for children to grow.
