A STEP TOWARDS ‘SAFE CAMPUS’
No task is as important as creating safe learning environment for our Laxmi
International School students. It is the prior most duty of the School to ensure the
parents a safe hand over their children. Every year hundreds of children are victims of
various calamities and hazards in the school area, in this nation. We need to take some
concrete steps and know many aspects to overcome any mishaps in and around the
school area. For example, does the staff or children know the chain of command in case
of an incident? Does everyone know who is responsible for what in an emergency? Do
all teachers know what they would do if confronted with a situation of fire in a
classroom? Have the entrance and exit been checked to ensure clear access to open
spaces? These are just few questions to be revisited periodically. This booklet essentially
highlights the School Safety guidelines and measures to create a safer school
environment.
ZONE LIST
Know your Zone:
The whole campus is divided into various geographical zones. The staff needs to be aware
of the possible threats in each area which will help them to be proactive than reactive. Each
area is been allotted with a team who is responsible for any kind of help in an emergency.

loss, apply pressure with a clean dry cloth to stop the bleeding. Visit a doctor

into an area with fresh air immediately.
2. If a person has spilled poison on their clothing, skin or eyes, remove the clothing. Splash
the skin or eyes or skin with cool or lukewarm water to remove traces of the poisonous
substances.
3. If a person has ingested a poisonous substance, induce vomiting to clear the stomach of

BURNS
The first aid for burns depends on the degree or extent of the burn. The treatment for
minor burns is quite different from that of major burns. For minor burns, as well as second‐
degree burns that is limited to an area of between 2 to 3 inches in diameter, follow these
steps:
1. Cool the burn. This is done by holding the burn under cold running water for around 5
minutes or until the pain dips. You may also immerse the burned area in cold water or
cool it with cold compresses. The process of cooling the burn lessens swelling by
conducting heat away from the skin. Never put ice on the burn.
2. Cover the burned area with a sterile gauze bandage: Don't use fluffy cotton, as it may
irritate the skin. Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting pressure on the wound.
Bandaging the burned skin keeps air away from the injury. This protects blistered skin
and helps reduce pain.
3. Take a painkiller. These are available over the counter at all chemists shop. Never give
Aspirin to children or teenagers.
For major burns, ring for emergency medical assistance. Until an emergency unit arrives,
follow these steps:
1. Don't remove burnt clothing. However, do ensure that the victim is no longer in contact
with burning materials or exposed to smoke or heat.
2. Don't immerse victims with critical large burns in cold water. Doing so may cause shock.
3. Check for signs that the person is alive such as a heartbeat, breathing, coughing or
movement. If such signs do not exist, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR.
4. Cover the area of the burn with a moist, cool, moist, sterilized bandage. You may also
use a clean, moist cloth or moist towels.
FALLS
1. If someone falls down from height, first check any injuries on head.
2. Check for any abnormal symptom like nausea, vomiting, acute stomach pain after
the fall which may be result of some internal injury. Contact doctor immediately.
