This is a book for teachers about safety in the classroom. This is a resource for teachers to be able to plan, prevent and deal with the aftermath of an event (minor or traumatic). I know that I will be buying this book as soon as i have a class of my own.

This is a PDF file that can be used as an emergancy reference sheet. The information sheet instructs a teacher what to do if there is a student who has a seizure in the classroom. I understand that every school has their own policy but it is good to have another sheet that you can reference so you make sure you are doing everything correctly.

This is the website for OSHA's information on first aid. There are different links with various information on first aid.
This is just one of teh different links at the OSHA website dealing with basic first aid instructions. Every school has their own basic instructions when it comes to first aid, but it is not harmful to have other versions to cross reference.

This is an organization that trains personal working with students on safety measures. This inclues: gang threat, bus safety, and proactive school security. I believe that this is an amazing organization to use because they are highly qualified and cover all aspects of school safety that need to be known.

This is a sheet briefly describing different lockdown procedures. It is important to follow the procedures that the school uses but i do not believe that it is bad to have another sheet to look at to make sure you have every aspect of student safety covered.
