COURSE RESOURCES
First and foremost, people from our partner communities is the key – from LGU officials, community
workers to the littlest member of the community. The community profile, set-up and its resources
(health indices etc.).
Secondly, the existing health care system – local health center, city hospital and other independent and
private health facilities nearby. Other key institutions and agencies in the neighborhood also play some
role. We will attempt to have a virtual community engagement.
Essentially, we will need electronic gadgets (tablets, cellphone, laptop, desktop), and internet
connectivity.
Other important resources are: Publications, IEC materials, books and journals, utilities, Support staff

Safety in the community requires common sense, preparation, and knowledge by faculty and
students. Faculty staff makes the community safe by:
• planning and implementing instructions that provide students the information they need to
conduct programs and activities safely.
• ensuring that all equipment is functioning safely.
• modeling compliance with safety rules and using the proper protective measures.
• supervising students to ensure that safety rules are obeyed.
Teaching students the proper way to handle materials / equipment in the community should
also help them learn correct handling on the job. Good safety instruction must be continuous
throughout the year. Emphasize safety practices on the first day and reinforce the concepts
whenever relevant. Students will not take safety rules seriously unless the teacher obeys and
strictly enforces these rules.
1. Safety Rules
Faculty should develop a set of safety rules for students. Specific sanctions should be identified for
student violations of the rules. The rules and sanctions are spelled out in the rotation manual and
student’s handbook.
2. Safety Instructions
Faculty should include safety concerns and precautions specific to each task or activity.
Posters highlighting safety rules and techniques are effective reminders to students and all who
enter the facility.
3. Handling Substances/Reagents/Communicable Diseases
Faculty can reduce students’ exposure to possible harmful substances / exposure by selecting those
that pose a minimum risk. Faculty is responsible for training students in the proper handling of
substances/reagents/potentially infectious cases. Training should include the importance of:
• safe storage of substances/reagents and proper disposal of chemical/infectious waste.
• activating ventilation system for any scenario that may generate hazardous exposure.
4. Safety Protocols
a. Faculty should circulate among students to monitor students’ work and ensure that they
comply with safety instructions.
b. Faculty should stay in the community center at all times when students are working and not
let students work alone or unattended.
c. Faculty should make sure their students understand instructions before the students begin
work. Faculty should inform students about the special hazards and precautions associated
with specific tasks / activities.
d. Faculty should allow sufficient time for student performance. Rushing students often causes
accidents.
5. Knowledge of Materials, Equipment and Procedures
Faculty must be familiar with the chemicals, equipment, and procedures they are using. Faculty
should have a thorough understanding of the potential hazards of materials, equipment and
processes in the community facilities/area.

6. Safety Practices
Faculty should follow current safety practices. The substitution of a less hazardous option can
improve safety. Faculty must be careful when using older books and references because certain
practices have changed in recent years. As needed, faculty should consult updated publications to
keep current on safety techniques.
7. Access to Sensitive/Valuable Equipment / Materials
The teacher must maintain strict control of access to certain sensitive and valuable
equipment/materials. Storage rooms and cabinets should be locked and access restricted to
prevent unauthorized use or theft.
8. Good Housekeeping and Safe Storage
Good housekeeping can make a significant contribution to safety. Faculty can promote good
housekeeping habits by:
• insisting on proper facility cleanup from the first day session.
• establishing a procedure for “checking” students at the end of an activity or class period.
Materials and equipment should also be checked.
• holding each student responsible for cleaning up his or her own area and materials. Faculty and
students should help each other with cleanup.
• assigning individuals or teams to take charge of common areas and by checking on the return of
items used in the activity.
• labeling shelves and trays so students can tell where to find/return materials.
• scanning the area, and not dismissing students until all is in order.
• making sure that fragile and bulky equipment is stored in a manner that minimizes the chances
of brushing or jarring it off the shelf. Shelves with raised edges are recommended for equipment
storage.
• making sure that cabinets and drawers are closed when not in use.
• arranging seats to allow safe and quick exiting in the event of an emergency. Aisles should be
unobstructed, and access to safety equipment such as fire extinguishers must not be blocked.
• making sure that wastes are deposited in appropriate receptacles.
9. Accidents
Be alert for the possibility of an accident. Know where all safety equipment is located and how
it works. Know the location of emergency cutoff switches or valves for water supply and
electricity. Check all physical facilities and equipment to ensure maximum safety conditions.
Take prompt action to report and correct unsafe conditions.
C. Responses to Injuries
General Procedures
Emergency procedures should be established at the beginning of the school year and
conspicuously posted.
1. In the event of a student injury, the established emergency procedure should direct the student
to notify the faculty on duty
2. In the event of a student injury, the established emergency procedure should direct faculty to:
• contact any staff trained in emergency medical treatment, and the Department Chairman or
Secretary or Course Supervisor. Dept. of Preventive Medicine Office 406-1611 Loc 8310
• call ambulance as needed for additional medical assistance.
• notify the school administration: 406-1611
• keep the injured student calm and comfortable while awaiting the arrival of medical
assistance.
• notify the injured student’s parents or guardians immediately according to school system
procedures.
3. Faculty should strongly encourage parents or guardians of injured student to seek follow-up care
for the student from medical specialists.
4. Faculty should never have students go for medical assistance by themselves. In circumstances
where it is appropriate for students to seek medical assistance, always have another student
accompany the injured student.
5. Safety equipment should be located in a prominent place and clearly identified with signs.
General Procedures
Suspicious activities should be reported immediately to the faculty on duty.
