Implementation and Operation 22 Emergency evacuation and drills are practiced in the educational institution. 23 It is the policy of the institution to ensure that all participants in the school (e.g., staff, students, parents, canteen staff, shuttle drivers) participate in the drill. 24 The implementation and subsequent follow-up of the zero-waste project are conducted within the institution. 25 Regular risk assessments are conducted within the organization to identify potential risks and implement measures to eliminate or minimize them. 26 It is of significant importance to classify and collect chemical wastes, and to ensure that the relevant data are readily available for analysis. 27 Carry out all activities and procedures in accordance with the established framework of projects such as the White Flag Project (a project designed to enhance hygiene standards and prevent the transmission of infection in educational institutions to create clean and healthy learning environments). 28 Train individuals responsible for the operation of new machinery, devices, and other work tools in the potential risks associated with their use and inform them of any pertinent safety information when there is a change in the process or when such items are purchased. 29 Any changes to work process or risks identified as a result of the evaluation of analysis outputs are communicated to the relevant personnel in a timely manner, according to importance and priority. Control and Corrective Action 30 To ensure the safety of all involved, a number of OHS measures are in place within the educational institution and its immediate vicinity. 31 OHS trainings of all participants (e.g., staff, students, trainees, apprentices) in the training institution are monitored. 32 The monitoring audits, guidance, and periodic controls are carried out within the scope of the internal audit of the OHS management system. 33 A series of preventive and corrective procedures is implemented in response to any instances of nonconformity that are identified in the course of an internal audit. 34 Implementation and monitoring of school-age immunization is a continuous process. 35 Drinking and potable water is analyzed periodically. 36 Kitchens and canteens of the institution are inspected regularly. 37 A program of periodic inspection of work-related equipment is in place. 38 All educational activities are conducted in accordance with OHS policies, regulations, and directives of the organization. 39 A program and procedure for conducting audits of the OHS management system is in place. Management Review 40 All relevant personnel are involved in the audit of the OHS management system. 41 The necessary monitoring and measurements are carried out as part of the risk assessment to identify potential hazards, assess possible consequences, and determine the level of risk. 42 Necessary measures are taken to organize work accidents and near-miss incidents within the organization and to prevent recurrence in the future. 43 The occurrence of any occupational accident or near-miss will initiate a review to assess OHS competence requirements and training needs of all participants within the organization. This review is followed by implementation of any necessary activities (e.g., training conferences, mentoring, changes in tasks). 44 Top management periodically convenes for review of the institution’s operations. 45 Top management ensures results of the management review are reported. 46 The report on management review outputs is disseminated by top management to relevant employees. 47 The OHS recordkeeping and monitoring program is kept up-to-date.
