V. Narrative Report

Our group conducted a school watching team composed of eight students from
G11 section Jose Rizal, on May 18 and May 20, 2023. The group conducted the
student-led school watching and hazard mapping to map and identify the potential
hazards or risks surrounding the school that can cause danger to the students and
to teaching and non-teaching personnels and also to fortify the disaster prevention,
mitigation, and preparedness of the students, teachinhg, and non-teaching
personnels. The group expedite and wander inside the school during the activity of
our subject Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction (DRRR) to enlighten us of the
potential harm or danger that can cause an accident to everyone, such as improper
stored electric circuits, cracked walls inside and outside the classroom, broken
desks or chairs, and ceilings that has been leaking or broken.

On May 18, 2023, we initiated a meeting on planning for how are we going to
execute our hazard mapping and how can we identify the potential hazards that we
can find inside of the campus to document it.
On May 19, 2023, we started the conduction of the hazard mapping within the
campus, and we found numerous sources of harm and that is broken ceilings,
broken armchairs, broken windows and etc.

VI. Findings

Upon the conduction of the hazard mapping, we discovered broken windows,

dilapidated ceilings, busted light bulbs, broken chairs, cracked walls in the
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) building.

-Room 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 & 38 we discovered an immense number of broken
windows.

VII. Conclusions and Recommendations

CONCLUSIONS:

As what we observed, we come up to the conclusions that Masbate National

Comprehensive High School Annex Campus is still a safe place to study but also
needs renovation of facilities to ensure the safety of students, teaching, and non-
teaching staffs of the said school.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Broken Ceilings:
- Conduct regular inspections of ceilings to identify any signs of damage or
deterioration.
- Repair or replace any cracked or sagging ceiling tiles or panels promptly.
- Install safety nets or barriers under areas where there is a risk of falling debris
from the ceiling.
- Clearly mark and cordon off areas with potential ceiling hazards until repairs
are completed.

2. Broken Chairs:
- Inspect chairs regularly for any signs of damage, such as broken legs or
unstable seating surfaces.
- Replace or repair broken chairs as soon as possible to prevent accidents.
- Educate employees or users about the importance of reporting broken chairs
promptly.
- Consider investing in ergonomic and sturdy chairs that are less prone to
breakage.
 3. Exposed Wirings:
- Regularly inspect electrical wiring throughout the premises to identify any
exposed or damaged wires.
- Immediately address any exposed wires by covering them with proper
insulation or conduit.
- Provide training to employees or occupants to recognize and report any exposed
wiring.
- Ensure that all electrical work is carried out by qualified professionals to
minimize the risk of exposed wiring.

4. Slippery Floors:
- Implement a regular cleaning schedule to keep floors clean and dry.
- Install slip-resistant flooring materials in areas prone to wetness, such as
entranceways or kitchen areas.
- Place warning signs or mats near areas where the floor may be wet or slippery.
- Provide proper footwear with slip-resistant soles to employees or occupants.

5. Broken Windows:
- Assess the severity of the broken window. If it poses an immediate safety risk,
isolate the area and cordon it off to prevent access.
- Take necessary precautions to avoid injuries from glass shards, such as wearing
protective gloves and using tools like brooms and dustpans to clean up broken glass.
- Consider temporary fixes like covering the window with plywood or plastic sheeting
until a professional can repair or replace it.
- Report the broken window to the relevant authorities or building management for
prompt repair.

6. Heavy Objects Mounted on Cabinets:

- Conduct a thorough inspection of all mounted objects to ensure they are secure
and properly anchored.
- Use appropriate mounting hardware, such as brackets, screws, or wall anchors, to
ensure stability.
- Regularly inspect and maintain the mounting hardware to prevent deterioration or
failure over time.
 - Consider redistributing heavy objects to lower shelves or cabinets to minimize the
risk of them falling.
- Provide clear warnings or signage to remind people of the potential hazard and
encourage caution in the area.

7. Busted Light Bulbs:

- Ensure the power supply to the affected light fixture is turned off before attempting
any maintenance.
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and safety goggles to protect
against glass shards.
- Carefully remove any remaining broken glass from the fixture, making sure not to
apply excessive pressure or force.
- Replace the busted light bulb with a new one of the appropriate wattage and type,
following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Dispose of broken glass and used light bulbs safely, following local regulations for
recycling or waste disposal.

8. General Recommendations:
- Promote a culture of safety awareness among employees or occupants through
training programs and communication.
- Encourage reporting of hazards and establish a clear process for addressing
and resolving them promptly.
- Maintain clear and well-lit pathways, ensuring that there are no obstacles or
obstructions that could lead to accidents.
- Regularly review and update hazard maps based on ongoing inspections and
feedback from employees or occupants.
Certainly! Here are some recommendations for broken windows, heavy objects
mounted on cabinets, and busted light bulbs for hazard mapping:
