Safety
Safety training is organized for student groups at the beginning of the academic year. The personal coach is responsible for safety coaching for his own group of students.
The training covers emergency instructions for different situations as well as common rules in the areas of mental safety (bullying, threats), physical safety (fire, violence, accidents) and occupational safety. At the same time, it is ensured that every student knows how to report an emergency to the emergency center, knows the security personnel of the educational institution and knows how to report a safety observation.
At the end of the safety training, a safety walk is carried out under the guidance of the personal trainer, at least in the building where the group mainly studies. During the safety walk, exit routes, meeting places, first aid equipment, fire-fighting equipment, storage facilities for dangerous substances and safety instructions for workshops are reviewed.
Safety is a common issue for all of us. You can influence safety at Riveria with your own actions!
