LET US EXPLORE
Activity 4.1

Answer the question below:

What is your idea about public order and safety? Write your answer in the space provided below
briefly.

PART I. PUBLIC ORDER AND SAFETY

A. Public Order

What is public order?

Public order is a condition characterized by the absence of widespread criminal and political
violence, such as kidnapping, murder, riots, arson, and intimidation against targeted groups or
individuals.

Under this condition, such activity is reduced to an acceptable minimum, perpetrators are
pursued, arrested, and detained, and the local population no matter which party to the conflict they
may belong to and able to move freely about the country without fear of undue violence.

Public disorder can be profoundly destabilizing for societies emerging from conflict. It can
instill constant fear in the local population, undercut efforts to strengthen state security
institutions, and jeopardize the success of the peace process. Criminal and politically motivated
activity are often accompanied by widespread violation of human rights, including torture; rape;
cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment; and arbitrary arrest and detention.

The population has few means by which to address these threats, the police are usually in
short supply, with a legacy of abuse and corruption. There are few judges, and confidence is low in
their ability to adjudicate cases independently. Prisons are overflowing. Without public order,
people will never build confidence in the public security system and will seek security from other
entities like militias and warlords.

So now you knew what is public order, are you curious to learn our next topic? If yes, lets continue
our discussion. If no, pause for a while and stretch your body, then continue.
 B. Safety

Safety is the basic instinct of a human person. Meaning, in everything that we do we first ask
ourselves, “Am I Safe?”, “Is it okay?”, “Can I do this?” these questions are all pertaining about our
security, so now here are the tips to ensure our safety:

Sensitivity to Operations

Asking open questions

Finding the best in others

Entertaining doubt

Thinking critically

PART III. PERSONAL AND HOME SAFETY

A. Don’t neglect safety housekeeping

Safety housekeeping refers to keeping minor safety hazards at bay by maintaining basic safety
practices. The following are good safety housekeeping measures. First things first, don’t keep clutter in
front of doors, stairways or steps and make sure all cords are out of areas of travel to avoid trips. Keep
things where they can be comfortably reached, or use a ladder or step-stool to safely retrieve them,
and keep drawers, cabinets and cupboards closed when not in use. Your home probably has some
potentially dangerous solvent and cleaners, so make sure chemicals or other hazardous materials are
safely and properly stored. In the kitchen, keep appliances off or unplugged when not in use.

B. Maintain adequate home security

Perhaps one of the biggest safety hazards that can accompany homeownership are potential security
threats. These can be fires, floods, loss of power, invasion or worse. In order to avoid a potentially
tragic occurrence, you should be sure to maintain adequate home security by having a security alarm
and door locking system employed at your home. To maintain fire safety, always have smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors in your home, and make sure to check the batteries and test them
frequently.
It’s always beneficial to have an emergency action plan for your home, such as having an escape
route, exit plan and emergency meeting place. Be sure to communicate these plans to all family
members that live in the house, and only share house codes or house keys with those who you really
trust. When going away from your home for long periods of time, don’t share on social media when
you’ll be away. For additional safety, consider adding porch cameras, motion detector lights and
cameras or video door locks.

C. Always remember home fire safety

Home fires can be extremely devastating if not life-threatening. While it’s difficult to live comfortably and
conveniently while having eliminated all fire threats, there are steps you can take to ensure that high-
risk home items are eliminated of potential risk. Never leave cooking unattended and keep stoves and
counter surfaces free of clutter, grease and especially flammable objects like hairspray, bug spray or
air freshener. Be sure to set a timer that will alert you when your cooking is complete since it is easy to
forget. Additionally, wear tight clothes while cooking to ensure that nothing gets lit on fire. If you have a
fireplace, candles or other sources of open flame, never leave it unattended, and place it on a non-
flammable surface clear from any potentially flammable items.

D. Eliminate electrical risks

Electricity, while incredibly convenient, can also pose a lot of safety risks if not adequately maintained.
Use the following electrical safety tips to eliminate potential electrical hazards. Replace all damaged or
frayed wires and cords, and throw out old or faulty appliances. Make sure to follow the correct
procedures when replacing light bulbs. Never overcrowd your electrical outlets, use extension cords if
necessary, and only buy electrical products evaluated by the nationally recognized laboratory (i.e. UL).
The UL is OSHA approved to perform product safety testing so look for products with this seal of
approval. Additionally, all electrical systems should be repaired or installed by a certified professional.

E. Always practice proper food safety

Food safety isn’t always common sense and kitchen injury or food-borne illness is very real. In order to
protect yourself and your family from potential food safety risks, follow the following safety tips. Make
sure your kitchen is clean and adequately maintained, and be sure to avoid contaminating food by
keeping raw meat and fish away from veggies. Thoroughly thaw frozen food before cooking, and
ensure that food is cooked all the way by knowing safe temperatures and using a thermometer. To
avoid spreading germs, keep your hands washed when handling raw meats, and to avoid injuries,
carefully handle knives and other sharp cooking utensils.

F. Have the necessities

Your home should have all the typical emergency response items in an easy-to-access location. These
items include: A first aid kit complete with band-aids, gauze, anti-bacterial wipes, eye patches, pain-
reliever, etc. Medicines for common ailments such as upset stomach or colds Inhalers, if necessary.
Emergency numbers for contacts, doctors, hospitals or poison control centers. Anything else that may
be necessary for the unique needs in your home.
 G. Encourage safe habits

It’s easy for someone to go around the house every so often and eliminate potential safety risks, but to
maintain safety in your home, it starts by having open discussions and encouraging safe habits. Talk to
your family members, visitors and neighbors about safe habits and teach your children that safety is an
important practice.
