3.Health and safety Policy
Health
The basis in the health, safety and security policy is that the safety of individuals and students is one of the first school priorities and that safety is the responsibility of everyone and the school must have a set of procedures to discover unsafe conditions with professionalism and modern scientific methods in dealing with any emergency,
and in this sense the Al Faisal Academy had established a procedural plan for
security and safety and has formed a committee concerned with this matter.

free to contact her for advice, accident and medical emergency procedure
· In the event of an accident or medical emergency on the school premises, our nurse
or a trained first aider will assess the condition of your child.

Student illness
·
Children who feel unwell while in school for a short period of
time will be observed in the classroom. If there is no improvement, he will be
sent to the school nurse. If the nurse decides that your child needs care at
home, we will contact you.
·
Each class teacher submits a list of students with medical needs
such as (asthma, allergies, diabetes) and how to treat medical emergencies
except for asthma inhalers for students.
·
The child should not store any medication while in school. Younger
students with asthma will keep inhalers in the nurse’s office and in the
teacher’s drawer. Please provide two additional inhalers for your child’s use
in school, one to be kept in class and the other with the school nurse.
·
Normally medicines are not administered in school. If your
child needs to finish a course of medicine you must give us written consent
stating that the Nurse, or other named and qualified member of staff, has
authority to dispense the medicine.
–First Aid procedure
Emergency first aid measures
must take priority over parental notification, but a designated staff member
will phone you to ensure you have been informed of the incident.
First Aid kits are kept in
various strategic locations in school, the main centers being:
• Medical Room
• Reception
• Science Laboratories
• ICT Laboratory
• Buses
• PE hall
• In the event of an incident
requiring basic first aid, staff will
report in the first instance to the nurse. Should this not be possible, then
first aid will be administered following standard safety practices.
• A record of the incident will
be placed in the student’s file and
a note will be sent home to the parent. The incident will also be recorded in
the Accident and Incident Book.

Behavior in school

Appropriate conduct on school transport is vital for student
safety. We will promote the following five safety rules for you as
parents to reinforce at home and with your drivers. Monitor/driver at all times.

chew gum in the bus;

Students must respect the
driver instructions, and bus supervisor

the bus stay.

In the event that the guardian
does not want the student to use
the bus on a particular day or circumstance, he must contact the administration
and inform it before 12:00 noon to do the necessary work.
The evacuation
•
Evacuation training will take
place at least twice a year, and the emergency exit locations for students and
assembly points will be explained, and the evacuation map will be placed in a
clear place in the school building so that it is easily accessible,

safety of individuals and students is one of the primary duties of the school
and that safety is the responsibility of everyone and the school must have a
set of procedures to uncover unsafe conditions in all professionalism and
modern scientific methods in dealing with any emergency, God forbid. Al-Faisal
