Safety drills are key to increasing employees’ and students’ knowledge of how to respond to an emergency .They help prepare individuals to respond quickly, calmly, confidently, and safely should an actual critical incident God forbid take place.
Regular safety drills are an integral part of each academic session at BSS. Keeping in view the recent devastating Earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.8 in Turkey and Syria resulting in loss of thousands of lives, school conducted an Earthquake Mock Drill on 9th Feb’2023. Before the drill, principal through the main PA system informed students and staff the standard operating procedures(SOPs) to be undertaken. Crises Response Team members( CRT) were instructed to explain to students the importance of ” Drop, Cover and Hold On.” On instructions of the principal assuming that the ” ground shaking has stopped” , evacuation was conducted following the exit routes safely.
The elder students were guided to help Early Years students in evacuating by taking them along as “buddies.”
Emergency kits & School Directory/water and First Aid supplies were ensured during the drill. All students were guided stepwise to ensure their safety and exit routes were told to them for a safe evacuation.
