Methodology for schools in accidents situations
"School and accidents: We are ready!" this is a new methodical recommendation for schools, in which the situations that you can normally encounter are brought closer. Not only children, pupils or students, but also teachers, parents or residents of the village can familiarize themselves with this publication and check how to react to situations and whether their reaction and behaviour is optimal. Therefore, the methodological recommendation focuses primarily on preparedness so that everyone knows what to do in which situation. This is followed by managing the medium and long-term consequences of emergencies, including adverse events. The third part of the methodological recommendation deals with procedures for preventing accidents, how to prepare for them and their consequences.
