General Risks

No cords allowed over thoroughfares. We will have cords around the room so that none have to run across the room - otherwise they will be duct taped to the floor.
Kitchen: Burn and cut risks, hot water is really hot
Balcony: Don’t let students stand on balcony wall or tables / chairs
Interpersonal: First years will sign an agreement to maintain a safe environment. We are able to ask students to stop unsafe behaviour. Students must also adhere to the student code of conduct.
If first years are making people feel unsafe then we can intervene.
- If the issue is so bad that violence may happen then call Campus Watch
- Do not intervene yourself
- If required then clear the room or ask the student to leave

Medical Events

Maya, Morgan, and Alfie are first aid trained. Kiran and Rosa need a refresher for First Aid.

If the first aid kit is opened then an incident report needs to be filled out in the book. Both of these below the bottom draw of Maya’s desk.
Major first aid: Keep the person calm. Some incidents may need an ambulance. Do not ring an ambulance if the person can be walked to the hospital.
In event of laceration, put pressure on the wound. Call an ambulance if the wound is close to the neck.
Broken bones: Depends on severity. Either call first aid person or ambulance. If neck or spine then do not move the person and call and ambulance
Heart Attack: Ring ambulance ASAP and call first aid person
Seizure: Move everything away from the person. If safe put the person on their side. Start a timer as soon as someone starts having a seizure. Call an ambulance if seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes or they have more than one seizure.
Stroke: Face. Arm Weakness. Speech. Time to call an ambulance.

Psychotic Break: Person is a risk to themselves and others. Clear the room, contact campus watch, then Maya. Enter the room only if you feel as though you can help, otherwise don’t. Try not to let them leave, but don’t force it.
Anxiety Attack: Get the person out of the room, or clear the room - whichever would be the most useful. Use grounding techniques to keep the person calm. Remind them to breathe. Posters will be up around the room. Afterwards, Maya can refer that student to Student Health.
Never promise anyone to keep something a secret. We have confidentiality within the team.
Suicidal Behaviours: You need to ring campus watch or the police. Maya will urgently refer them to Student Health. Maya can get in touch with Campus Watch with their ID.

Fire: Clear the room. Doors to the balcony are the fire exit. Meet outside the union builing or lawn in the event of an actual fire. Close doors behind. Keep students at the evacuation point until the all clear is given.
Earthquake: Drop, cover, and hold. Protect yourself first. Evacuate using the fire exit if possible. Gather away from the buildings - in the middle of the union lawn. No person may enter buildings again.
Active Attacker: Remember that HQ is one of the most secure places. Make Local look empty. Lights off. Stuff off tables. Curtains down. If there is no time, get in the kitchen and hide. If the attacker is in the room then call campus watch or the police immediately.
