Session 2 - The Top 10 Qualities of a Well Protected School
As education institutions are forced to do more with less, we may see negative impacts on human element loss prevention programs, such as supervision of hot work and maintenance of fire protection. Education risk managers, staff and safety professionals need to recognize that these negative impacts could have potentially disastrous results. This session will provide you with the basics for developing effective human element programs and maintaining established programs during economic downturns.
As a result of participating in this session, you will be able to:
- Identify key human element loss prevention programs.
- Outline the essential components of effective human element programs.
- Analyze established programs and spot shortcomings in order to maintain programs in times of economic downturns and budget cutbacks.

Session 3 - Wired Glass in Schools
Why, where and when do we need safety glass and wired glass in schools? Safety glass and wired glass are not the same. Safety glass is glass, other than wired glass, that is treated or combined with other material so as to reduce the likelihood of injury to persons when the glass is cracked or broken. Wired glass is simply glass with a wire mesh inserted when the glass is made. Wired glass can be broken with limited force. Why then do we use wired glass?
My discussion will focus on the properties of glass and the differences between wired glass and safety glass, and what happens when both types of glass are impacted. I will also discuss the current and historical Building Code requirements for safety glass and wired glass in various locations, specifically in schools.
