Best Practice: How to prepare in case of an accident in school

Follow prevailing national and district manuals, regulations, guidance and manuals. 

(MBSSE must ensure that these and other necessary information is available at all schools at all times)

Have a plan and phone/contact numbers accessible in the school office, preferably on the wall.

Always have a complete first aid kit available at the school and staff trained in first aid.

If minor accident, apply first aid.

If major accident, apply first aid, call the ambulance and refer to a hospital or health centre.

Inform parents or care giver for pupils.

Inform spouse and family members for teachers.

In case of a serious accident, ensure to inform TSC, NASSIT, Office of National Security and the Ministry of Labour after the event.
