Long gone are the days when a person was forced to survive in harsh climatic and technological conditions, implementing the principle of the strongest. Nevertheless, we often face potential dangers in our path. In this regard, the design of the security corner is especially relevant. Its main goal is to provide an answer to the question of how to behave in extreme situations, to convey the algorithm of actions to a person. The theme of the corner has differences depending on age, as it is made out both for children (schools, kindergartens, etc.) and for adults.
Safety corner in child care facilities
Due to their age-related features, children are practically devoid of a sense of danger, so no parents or kindergarten teachers or teachers at school have yet managed to 100% avoid unexpected situations. A certain experience that helps to avoid troubles comes with age. The task of parents and educational institutions is to enrich young minds with information about behavior in specific dangerous and extreme situations. For this purpose, a safety corner is formed with an algorithm for actions in case of fire, flood, road crossing, avalanches (in mountainous areas), ice drift on rivers, a terrorist attack, work with electrical devices, etc.
By periodically turning the audience’s attention to a visual stand, adults help children learn.
Security Corner Maintenance Requirements
To begin with, it should be said that there is no unified form or type of safety nook. As a rule, it is a large thematic stand with constant content and a place for posting updated information (memos, statistics, historical information, etc.). There may be more than one security corner in an institution. The main thing in this case is not to combine two or three topics at once. For example, the rules of conduct in case of fire with the algorithm of actions during the flood. Submit information in a dosed, without unnecessary "water".
Very often in educational institutions, periodic instruction on road behavior reinforces the corner of road safety.
The algorithm of certain actions in a dangerous situation should be stated in a simple and accessible language, use the words directly in their direct meaning, without complex speech turns. The main material can be supplemented with statistics, historical data, questions from the series “How to?”. The basic principles for designing a safety corner for children are simplicity, brevity and brightness. The third paragraph is especially relevant for young children. Senior and mid-level managers are more likely to have thematic booklets.
Fire Safety Corner
Virtually any relatively large enterprise (organization) has a specialist in charge of fire safety. It is his responsibility to train staff and conduct conversations, seminars, training alarms, etc. The easiest way to draw attention to the issue of fire safety is to create a thematic stand or a special corner.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the location of the teaching material. What it will be depends on the employer's capabilities. You can arrange a fire safety corner, supplementing themed posters with fire extinguishing equipment, personal protection. If only a stand is made out, then you need to place it in the most visible place where employees most often come (near the personnel department, dining room, wardrobe, etc.). If the building has several floors, it is best to do this on each of them, be sure to add an evacuation plan.
It is recommended to break the stand into several thematic sections. For example, the rules for using a fire extinguisher, handouts, respiratory protection in case of fire, etc. Be sure to include emergency phone numbers (large, noticeable and bright). Do not abuse textual information exclusively. Many simply too lazy to read.
An office or a labor protection area?
Issues related to safety and labor protection are strictly regulated by law. Therefore, it will be useful to first study the legal side of the issue. In accordance with Decree of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation No. 7 dated January 17, 2001, an office for protection, rather than a labor safety corner, is to be created in the organization if the number of its employees exceeds 100 people and / or if they have to carry out a lot of methodological work, frequent training.
In the case when the staff is less than the specified number, you should arrange a labor protection corner. Consider this issue in more detail.
Design corner for labor protection
Under the corner for labor protection, the employer can select a separate office or part of a general purpose room, for example, in the corridor. The area of fundamental importance in this case is not. As a rule, it is a stand for labor protection and safety. For the design and maintenance of it in good condition, updating and replenishment of relevant information is the responsibility of a special service or specialist in OT.
The main goal of the labor protection area is to inform employees about obligations and rights in this area, about working conditions in the whole organization and at a particular workplace, about regulatory legal acts on this issue. The more clear and understandable it is, the better.
The corner or stand for labor protection and safety is divided into two sections: general and special. The design of each of them should be given special attention.
General section
The general section, as the name implies, gives a basic idea. First of all, it includes the legal framework for labor protection (federal, regional legislation and local acts of the enterprise). Then you should reflect information about the organization of occupational health in the institution (general information about the measures taken and planned), dangerous and (or) harmful factors at workplaces, personal protective equipment used, and the algorithm of actions of employees in the event of an accident or emergency.
Special section
Making out a corner of labor safety, in a special section you can place regulatory documents of a general plan. For example, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law on SUT, GOSTs, regulations on the procedure for training, medical examinations, milk and medical nutrition, accidents at work, standards for issuing personal protective equipment, etc.
