Health and Safety

The Experimental Education Unit is responsible for the safety of the children in its classrooms from the time they arrive until the time they leave the Unit. It is essential that teachers know the whereabouts of their pupils at all times, and that teachers be on duty at the unloading area in front of the building during arrival and departure times. Teachers must also be careful to avoid any possible danger to the children elsewhere on the school premises. Report any safety hazards to the principal immediately.

Accident Prevention

With the large number of visitors to the Unit and with the limited custodial service available, spilled water or coffee can become a serious hazard. Should you happen to notice spills, please take time to wipe them up. Cigarette smoking is prohibited. Fire and safety regulations prohibit storing any objects in the hall. The Unit will be subject to a fine if the Fire Inspector discovers items in the hall.

Fire Hazards

Good safety procedures are essential in any school building.

Know where the nearest fire alarm is, how to leave your room safely, how to move children out of the building in an orderly fashion, and how to close windows and other openings in case of fire. The fire alarm bell is long and loud, easily heard throughout the building. The exits are clearly marked.
Monthly fire drills are required throughout the school year.

Make fire prevention an important part of your daily routine.

Store all flammable materials well away from potential fire hazards, make sure that electrical sockets are not overloaded, and closely supervise children who are using electrical appliances.
Keep ALL items out of the hallways.

In case of any accidental injury, including bites, to children, staff, or visitors, an Environmental Health and Safety Department Accidental Injury Report must be filled out within 24 hours after the accident occurs.
See the school nurse or switchboard operator for these forms.
Please return completed from to nurse.
The State Division of Developmental Disabilities must be notified if a child eligible for birth to three services requires more than simple first aid or an extraordinary event requiring Agency intervention occurs. In these instances, reports will be made by phone to the King County Program Manager and the DSHS DDD Case Resource Manager within 24 hours and a copy of the written report will be sent within 10 days.

Workplace Violence

University Commitment

The University of Washington is committed to providing a safe and healthful workplace that is free from violence or threats of violence.

Individuals who engage in violent or prohibited behavior may be removed from the premises, and may be subject to dismissal or other disciplinary action, arrest and/or criminal prosecution. This policy applies to all work locations, including: offices, worksites, vehicles, and field locations.

Employees, supervisors and managers are expected to report actual or alleged incidents of violence in the workplace. You can obtain a copy of the procedure from the Human Resources Offices that serves your department or view it on the Web at:

www.washington.edu/admin/hr/pol.proc/work.violence/wk.viol.policy.htm

Prohibited Behavior

The University of Washington does not tolerate behavior whether direct or through the use of University facilities, property, or resources that

Is violent
Threatens violence
Harasses or intimidates others
Interferes with an individual’s legal rights or movement and expression
Disrupts the workplace, the academic environment or the University’s ability to provide service to the public
Violent or threatening behavior can include: physical acts, oral or written statements, gestures, and expressions, or behaviors such as stalking.

Firearms and Other Dangerous Materials

The following conduct is prohibited under Washington Administrative Code 478-124-020: Possession or use of firearms, explosives, dangerous chemicals or other dangerous weapons on the University campus, unless prior written approval has been obtained from the Vice President for Student Affairs, or any other person designated by the President of the University.

Administrative Reporting Requirements

Each unit is responsible for reporting incident of violent or threatening behavior:

Supervisors and managers who receive reports of violent or threatening behavior must notify the head of the unit (or designee); and
Telephone the unit’s Human Resources Consultant. If the consultant is not immediately available, the reporting supervisor or manager should request to speak with any Human Resources Consultant, Supervisor, or Director in the office.
Supervisors must also report violent incidents to Environmental Health and Safety on an “Incident/Accident/Quality Improvement Report” form.

Security

There are several procedures you can follow to make sure that equipment in your charge is not lost, stolen, or damaged.

(1) Close drapes and lock office and classroom doors each evening when leaving and whenever you plan to be away.

(2) Shut outside doors when leaving the building at 5:00 p.m.

(3) Keep purses or other valuables with you or in a locked cabinet at all times. There have been thefts of purses left unattended for only a moment.

(4) If you happen to see visitors walking alone in the halls, direct them to the visitor register and reception area. No visitor should be wandering about the building without a guide or a visitor badge. If you receive no satisfactory response to your offer of direction, take responsibility for telling this to the receptionist and/or call security officers at 3-9331. The security officers say that this one procedure would substantially reduce most theft.
