How to improve dormitory safety

(1) Fire safety hazards

Currently, college students have weak safety awareness, lack necessary fire protection knowledge and self-rescue escape skills, and panic when encountering emergencies such as fires. Due to the lack of simple fire-fighting knowledge, small fires often lead to major disasters; or due to lack of self-rescue knowledge and escape ability, the best escape opportunities are lost. At present, there are mainly the following fire hazards in student dormitories:

First, illegal use of electrical appliances. Illegal use of electrical appliances is the primary hidden danger of fires in student dormitories. Illegal electrical appliances mainly refer to high-power or unsafe electrical appliances, such as electric refrigeration and electric heating equipment such as heaters, rice cookers, and electric heating cups. Due to the limited load of the power supply lines in student dormitories, high-power electrical appliances are used in densely populated student dormitory areas. Lines with small loads can easily cause line fires when carrying larger-power electrical appliances. In addition, when using high-power electrical appliances, it is easy to cause fires due to reasons such as forgetting or improper placement after powering on, igniting nearby flammable materials.

Second, illegal use of open flames. The use of open flames mainly refers to lighting candles, smoking, burning debris in dormitories, etc. Most of the furniture in the dormitory is made of wooden structure, and most of the items placed there are bedding, books and other flammable materials. A little carelessness may cause a fire. For example, students throw cigarette butts everywhere after smoking. Once they come into contact with flammable materials, it may cause a fire.

Third, connect wires indiscriminately. Due to the improvement of living conditions, electronic products in student dormitories are very popular. For the sake of convenience, students tear out wires in the dormitory, connect sockets indiscriminately, and even directly connect the wires to the bed. The wires are not fixed and are often dragged around, causing the connectors to loosen, which can easily cause short circuits or contact damage. Fire caused by improper heating.

(2) Property safety hazards

Property safety hazards are another major hazard in dormitories, mainly manifested in theft and fraud. On the one hand, most college students live alone outside for the first time and lack awareness of protecting their property. For example, they do not develop the habit of locking the door when entering and exiting the dormitory; they do not close the door during summer break; they leave high-end valuables randomly, etc. These provide opportunities for criminals to take advantage of, and also bring property losses and abuse to students. On the other hand, students are naturally kind-hearted and sometimes lack the ability to judge certain things. Criminals take advantage of this weakness to defraud students in various forms.

(3) Personal safety hazards

Personal safety mainly comes from human infringement or physical damage caused by poor living habits, such as fights and throwing out from high-rise buildings. Things, inability to rest due to excessive gaming, unhygienic diet, illness, etc. In order to ensure the safety of students, the school has strict lights-out time, but there are still students who cannot resist the temptation outside the school. They come home late or stay out at night. Students are overly addicted to online games, and lack of sleep and nutrition can lead to sudden death, which has a negative impact on students' health. pose a huge threat to security.

2. Some thoughts on strengthening safety education and management in student dormitories

(1) Strengthening student safety education and improving students’ safety awareness

Safety education is the ideology of colleges and universities Political education is an important content and an indispensable part of the knowledge system of college students. Ensuring the safety of students is also the bottom line of all the school's work and the guarantee for doing all the work well. In many developed countries, schools have very complete and systematic safety education for students. In the entrance education for new students in domestic schools, safety education has also received increasing attention, but the intensity is far from enough. Students' safety education not only depends on the important period of freshman enrollment, but more importantly, it is accompanied by all stages of college life. In addition to the explanations in the first classroom, it also requires the practice of the second classroom and students' self-education. All departments, societies, fire protection departments, and dormitory management departments of the school can rely on their own characteristics to carry out safety education among students and improve students' safety awareness. The school security department can use the first classroom to teach students the importance of campus security and dormitory safety through cases, as well as the potential safety hazards in dormitories. The dormitory management department organizes students to conduct dormitory escape and fire prevention drills to cultivate students' escape and self-rescue skills. Once encountering emergencies such as fires and earthquakes, students can successfully escape and save themselves.

Various societies can rely on the Internet, newspapers, blackboards, windows, etc. to carry out student safety self-education activities during major festivals, such as distributing newspapers to popularize fire prevention and theft prevention knowledge, photo exhibitions of safety hazards in student dormitories, fire prevention and theft prevention knowledge competitions, dormitory safety slogan collection activities, etc. Each department, department, and class can put forward safety requirements in a targeted manner and provide safety education to students at important moments such as holidays, graduates leaving school, and new students entering school.

(2) Improve the hardware facilities of student dormitories to ensure student safety

In the dormitory management work of many schools, we will encounter how to prevent students from using high-power electrical appliances for private purposes. Fire problem. However, no matter how the school strengthens its management, in every safety inspection of student dormitories, high-power electrical appliances such as electric heating cups, electric rice cookers, electric stoves, and hair dryers will be found.

So how to improve this situation and fundamentally eliminate the safety hazards in dormitories? The author believes that two aspects should be considered. First, improve the hardware facilities of the dormitories and work hard on the word "limitation". Modify the circuits in the student dormitories to ensure that each student has an outlet to avoid the phenomenon of unauthorized wiring. Modify the sockets in the dormitories and install power-limited sockets in the dormitories. If high-power electrical appliances are used in the dormitories, the power will be cut off immediately in the dormitory, thereby effectively controlling the use of high-power electrical appliances by students. Second, provide students with humanized services and work hard on the word "sparse". The reason why high-power electrical appliances are repeatedly banned is because students have demand for them and there are some inconveniences in students' daily lives. The reason why students are keen on "heating quickly" is because it is inconvenient to get hot water in the dormitory area. Although the school provides free boiling water to students, the boiling water rooms are often on the first floor, which is particularly inconvenient for students living in high-rise student dormitories. In order to save time and trouble, some students have "heated quickly" in their dormitories. The school can gradually improve dormitory facilities. Instead of setting up a boiling water room on a certain floor, it can install a small water heater in the bathroom on each floor to supply hot water on a floor-by-floor basis. This will greatly facilitate students' daily life. Hair dryers are also popular in girls’ dormitories. Especially in the north, if you don’t dry your hair in time after washing, you can easily catch a cold and get sick. The problem we need to solve is to not only meet the needs of students but also to limit the use of high-power electrical appliances. Schools can install hair dryers in dormitory bathrooms or baths. Students can dry their heads in the baths and bathrooms, which naturally restricts students from using hair dryers in dormitories. If school conditions permit, a high-power room can be built in each dormitory building to specifically meet the reasonable needs of students.

Our school is also gradually improving the anti-theft security of student dormitories. Last summer, the school renovated the protective fences of Liulitai dormitory windows and installed anti-climb escape windows. It not only solves the problem of illegal personnel using the protective fence to climb into the student dormitory, but also allows safe escape in the event of fire, earthquake and other emergencies in the dormitory. In January this year, the school installed a barrier-free access system on a trial basis in the Pengxiang 4 Zhai student dormitory. It can not only control the entry and exit of non-building members, but also control the status of students entering and exiting the dormitory.

(3) Establish a safety management system for student dormitories and implement a post responsibility system for dormitory safety

The Fire Prevention Section of the Security Department and the Dormitory Management Section of the Academic and Engineering Department are responsible for the supervision of fire safety in our school’s student dormitories. departments, but it is far from enough to rely solely on the supervision of these two departments to achieve safe management of dormitories. In order to prevent and eliminate fire accidents in student dormitory areas, ensure the personal safety of student dormitory property and dormitory students, and promptly investigate and eliminate fire hazards in student dormitory areas, it is necessary to form a team with the joint participation and participation of schools, colleges, counselors, and students. **Coordinated fire safety responsibility network. Each college should establish a leading group for fire safety work in student dormitories with the deputy secretary (secretary) of the party committee in charge of student affairs as the team leader and all counselors participating, implement a level-by-level position responsibility system, realize division of labor, and assign responsibilities to each person. , so that there are people to take care of every level, people to ask questions, and a long-term mechanism to ensure the fire safety of dormitories from an organizational and personnel perspective. The "Tianjin University Student Dormitory Fire Safety Responsibility Letter" signed between the schools established the responsibilities at all levels and clarified the functions at each level.

The relevant responsible persons of the college shall conduct daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly inspections on fire safety, and the relevant departments of the school shall conduct relevant spot inspections.

The safety work in student dormitories has a large impact and the consequences are often very serious, even involving the safety and stability of the school. Only by continuously strengthening safety education, improving students' safety awareness, conducting regular safety inspections, improving dormitory hardware facilities, and improving the dormitory safety management responsibility system can we do a good job in dormitory safety management.
