Appendix 1 Bishop O’Neill and Bishop Gonia have asked each parish and/or ministry to develop a safety plan for their facilities and participants. It is our desire that all participants in a ministry setting may have a safe place to attend. While not every scenario can be anticipated and planned for, the following list gives each ministry, regardless of size, items that can be included in a preparedness plan of action. A minimum goal in the plan should include five main functions: To Prevent Protect against Mitigate the effects of\ Respond to Recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk. Each ministry site may use this list to develop a safety plan that is reflective of the facility size and ministry type and average number of participants. Develop a Safety Coordination Team This team would create a safety plan for the ministry site and oversee its implementation, which would include training of safety personnel and informing the ministry participants of the safety plan. Create a Safety Plan Document The following lists items that should be included: Medical Emergencies and First Aid Treatment (Medical emergencies are the most probable and include heart attacks, strokes, fainting, seizures, concussions, broken bones, burns, bites, and abnormal pain.) General Instructions (who does what where, and for what emergency procedures) First Aid Kits (locations in the building for each of the largest areas people congregate) AEDs (locations in the building for each of the largest areas people congregate) Medical Emergency Action Steps (basic first aid steps) Fire and Hazardous Materials Incidents
