Safe learning environments

This case reiterated that students do have some expectation of privacy, but schools have a wider scope than police officers, because of the need for schools to be a safe learning environment. In addition to a search where there is some particular suspicion (as in T.L.O. s case), generalized searches such as the use of metal detectors to keep weapons out of schools have also been held to be permissible. For example, in 7.amor a v. Pomeroy (1981), the Supreme Court upheld a warrantless search of school lockers by trained police dogs, and in State v. Moore (1992) it was held to be reasonable for a school administrator to search a student s bookbag because a guidance counselor had been tipped off by another student that the student...

The fact that so few accidents and prosecutions are known to have occurred during primary science activities is testament to the practice employed by primary teachers to plan their activities very carefully and be vigilant and professional in their approach. Nevertheless, more teachers are now responsible for delivering the science statutory Orders and there is evidence that some parents, whose children are injured in school, now seek someone to blame. Many even look for negligence as a means of compensation. To refute negligence teachers will need to provide evidence that they are fulfilling their responsibilities (see Part 1) and that they provide a safe learning environment as normal routine practice.

Working within their legal, professional and moral duty to ensure a safe outdoor learning environment requires the teacher to identify, manage and control any risks to health and well-being. However, safe practice in the outdoor classroom is just as dependent on safety education, the creation of a safety ethos and the application of basic principles, as it is upon regulation and legislation. 

To maintain a safe lab environment, it is critical that everyone minimizes and/or eliminates the risk of exposure to hazards. We do this everyday with precautions that we have learned to prevent or reduce injury and harm. Table 1.1.1.1 shows common risk factors associated with these risks and proven risk reduction actions. " For example, if we wear seat belts, we are less likely to sustain life-threatening injuries in a collision. The phrase less likely is important because wearing a seat belt does not guarantee that you will be injury-free if you are in a collision, but it does mean that your chances of... 

Another reason why this idea might not be a perfect explanation involves a learning process called extinction. When two events are paired together (as in the case of the rat and the loud sound), humans and animals can learn that one event (the rat) can predict another (the loud sound) and thus develop a fear of the rat. However, when the events are subsequently presented alone (the rat without the loud sound), the fear diminishes over time through a process called extinction. Extinction does not work well with phobias. That is, simply presenting the feared object in a safe environment does not... 

However, from this operating experience one can learn that, working in the midst of a cryogenic environment is a highly hazardous practice and use of a tanker-trailer which does not have a safely accessible auxiliary shut-off valve is unsafe in the event of a spill. 

For amphetamine addicts and drug abusers, the controlled, therapeutic environment of residential rehab provides a safe place to learn new behaviors and explore the emotional issues behind their drug use.
