Teachers urged to make school environments safe

Teachers urged to make school environments safe

Teachers are being urged to improve school environments to prevent accidents among pupils as most schools open for a new semester this week.

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department director-general Chayapol Thitisak said teachers should provide information about various safety precaution and set a good example so pupils are careful and have a safety-first awareness.

He said accident-prone areas include deteriorated or under-construction buildings, broken desks/chairs, unruly grass-filled space, and un-fenced wells or ponds. Students' play fighting or climbing structures could lead to accidents, he said. 

Classroom activities that could lead to accidents included conducting a chemical experiment, using lab equipment or playing sport, he said. Other threats included a broken electrical appliance and unsafe traffic conditions within a school compound.
