INCASE OF INJURY OR EMERGENCY
JAY
1. INJURY unintentional or intentional
damage to the body resulting from acute
exposure to thermal, mechanical, electrical,
or chemical energy or from the absence of
such essentials as heat or oxygen. Injuries
can be further classified based on the events
and behaviors that precede them as well as
the intent of the persons involved. At the
broadest level, injuries are classified as
either violence or unintentional injuries.

2. INTENTIONAL INJURY ARE INJURIES

RESULTING FROM VIOLENCE.
3. SELF INFLICTED WHEN A PERSON HARMS
HIMSELF/HERSELF ON PURPOSE

4. SUICIDE the intentional taking of one’s own life. Many

of those who attempt suicide do not receive mental and
emotional counselling because their families try to hide
the problem because they are ashamed of it. Because of
this, the problem is not solved and the attempt to
commit suicide can be repeated.

5. PARASUICIDE a suicide attempt in which a person

does not intend to die. It is often a cry for help, meaning,
the person wants others to know what she/he is feeling.
Despite this, parasuicide should be taken seriously
because it may also lead to death.
6. ASSAULT
WHEN PERSON/PERSONS
HARM ANOTHER ON PURPOSE

7. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - an act that

includes physical assault, sexual abuse and
verbal abuse. There are some children who
experience domestic violence in their homes.
Their parents may think that their children
do not know about the violence, but most of
the time, the children are aware of it. They
can feel helpless, scared and upset. Some of
them blame themselves as they feel like the
violence is their fault COMMITTED WITHIN
THE FAMILY

8. COMMITTED BY PEERS BULLYING - an unwanted,
aggressive behavior. The behavior is repeated, or can be
repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who
bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

9. EXTORTION - the act of using force or threats to force

people to hand over their money or properties, on favors.
Victims are forced to give up their allowances, in
exchange for the promise that they will not be beaten
up.

10. STALKING - is a pattern of behavior that makes you

feel afraid, nervous, harassed, or in danger. It is when
someone repeatedly contacts you, follows you, sends you
things, and talks to you, even when you don’t want them
to. It is very threatening to the person being stalked,
because the behaviors and actions of the stalker often
invade his/her privacy.
11. COMMITED BY OTHER GROUPS GANG AND YOUTH
VIOLENCE A gang is defined as a relatively tough, mostly
street-based group of young people who regard themselves
and may be seen by others as a group that engages in a range
of criminal activity and violence. Gang members are
responsible for a majority of serious crimes, like extortion,
theft and robbery. They are also likely to be involved in
selling drugs and are more likely to bring weapons to school
for fear of attack from rival gangs

12. ILLEGAL FRATERNITY-RELATED VIOLENCE A

fraternity is a group of people with similar backgrounds,
occupations, interests, or tastes. And since most fraternities
are based in colleges and universities, some would join
fraternities for academic support. Most youths would also
join fraternities because of the sense of belongingness that
these fraternities would provide.
13. Tomaintain their exclusiveness, fraternity
members would require an applicant to
undergo a series of initiation rites to become
part of the “brotherhood”. One of these is
hazing, or activities that involve harassment,
abuse, or humiliation. Hazing can be very
dangerous to applicants, as they will be
subjected to physical and psychological
suffering like being beaten with wooden
paddles and may cause them a lot of injuries.
Some even die in the process.
SHAIRA
13. Schools have a responsibility to prevent injuries from
occurring on school property and at school-sponsored
events. In addition, schools can teach students the skills
needed to promote safety and prevent unintentional
injuries, violence, and suicide while at home, at work, at
play, in the community, and throughout their lives.

14. However, educational interventions alone cannot

produce major reductions in injury or injury risks.
Effective school- based injury-prevention efforts address
policies and procedures, staff development, the physical
environment of the school, and the curriculum in a
coordinated manner. School efforts to promote safety can
be part of a coordinated school health program, which is
"an integrated set of planned, sequential, and school-
affiliated strategies, activities, and services designed to
promote the optimal physical, emotional, social, and
educational development of students.
15. A coordinated school health program involves and
is supportive of families and is determined by the
local community based on community needs,
resources, standards, and requirements. It is
coordinated by a multidisciplinary team and
accountable to the community for program quality
and effectiveness“.

16. Just as individual strategies cannot be

implemented in isolation from each other, schools
cannot effectively address unintentional injury,
violence, and suicide problems in isolation. School
personnel, students, families, community
organizations and agencies, and businesses can
collaborate to develop, implement, and evaluate
injury-prevention efforts.

Ensure regular equipment checks and maintenance.
 Establish safety rules and use the proper safety gear
for sporting activities.
 Teach children how to use playground equipment
properly.
 Provide appropriate adult supervision for all sports,
recreation, and play activities.
 Use a reporting system to record injuries that
happen at school. This information can be used to
identify causes and plan preventive strategies for
the school.

BANDAGES:

rolled up. Use a roller bandage to support joint injuries, hold
dressings in place, put pressure on wounds to stop bleeding,
and to reduce swelling
• Triangular bandages: Triangular bandages are large
triangular shaped pieces of cloth. You can fold a triangular
bandage to use as either a bandage or sling, or, if sterile, as a
dressing for large wounds and burns.

27.
PROTECTIVE ITEMS:
• Disposable gloves: Using disposable gloves reduces the risk of
infection between you and someone you’re helping. If they’re
