INDUCED
HAZARD
Chapter 3
Human-made or induced hazards are threats
having elements of human intent, negligence,
error and involving a failure of a system.
Human induced disasters are a result of
inadequately managed human-induced hazards
such as:
1. Technological Hazards
2. Environmental Hazards
3. Socio-Economic, Political, Security Hazards
TYPES OF HUMAN
INDUCED HAZARDS
1. Technological Hazards
Technological hazards have little or no
warning to precede the incident. These
dangers originate from industrial
accidents, dangerous procedures,
infrastructure failures or certain human
activities, which may cause the loss of
life or injury, property damage, social
and economic disruption or
environmental degradation.
A. Structure Collapse
Structure collapse is often caused
by engineering failures such as
under-design of structural
components, by corrosion attack
and by aerodynamic resonance in
structures.
Preparedness and Mitigation (What to do
before) :
• Conduct a general check on the condition of all school
buildings before every school opening through the assistance of
DepEd Engineers, City/Provincial/Municipal Engineers and
Bureau of Fire Protection.
• Repair or rehabilitate structures to put them in good
condition.
• Adopt the existing warning system for a building certified as
unsafe for occupancy.
• Cordon off and mark buildings found unsafe with “off-limits”.
Response (What to do during):
Forest Fire
Forest Fire is generally started by lightning. It may also be caused by human
negligence or arson.
Arson
Arson is the criminal intent of setting a fi re with intent to cause damage. It is
the greatest cause of fires in data repositories. Arson is a crime commonly
defined by statute as wilful or malicious damage of property by means of fire or
explosion.
Don’ts
• Do not panic.
• Do not run.
• Do not use the elevators.
• Do not jump out from an upper floor.
Post Impact
• Conduct inventory of school personnel and
students.
• Seek medical assistance for the injured.
• Do not return inside the school once outside.
Rehabilitation Phase (What to do after):
• Coordinate with the Bureau of Fire Protection and
municipal or city engineering office for building
assessment.
• Conduct inventory of school personnel and students,
equipment, fixtures and facilities.
• Report damage/s to proper authorities.
• Give first aid when needed and seek medical assistance
for the seriously injured.
• Stay out of fi re-damaged buildings until local fi re
authorities say it is safe to re-enter.
C. Vehicular Related Accidents
Vehicular Related Accidents Some students go to
school aboard a school service, like a bus, jeepney,
tricycle or van. It is also a common practice for
parents or guardians to accompany their children
all the way to school and back.
This school service presents certain risks to the
students’ safety. Potential dangers happen
especially when students board and alight from the
service vehicle.
Preparedness and Mitigation (What to do
before):
• Observe traffic rules, drive defensively and practice road courtesy.
• Keep your vehicles in good condition. Always check on brakes,
wheels and tires.
• Put a removable school service sign at the back and sides if vehicle
is not in full time school service.
• Never pick up or drop off passengers in the middle of the road.
• Observe designated areas for drop off and pick up of students.
• Never sleep inside the vehicle, if possible. Stay alert and prepare
yourself for any emergency.
Response (What to do during):
• Bring passengers out of the vehicle immediately.
• Apply first aid in case of injury and bring the
victims to the nearest hospital for medical
assistance if necessary.
• Help coordinate with the parents regarding the
welfare of the passengers in emergency cases such
as accidents or weather disturbances. Allow them
to stay in school until the weather allows safe
travel.
