Safety - A TOP Priority!

At the Lebanese American University Simulation Models (LAUSM), the safety and security of our participants are our top priorities.


Below you can navigate though our LAUSM tailored procedures to ensure a seamless flow of our sessions, and full preparedness for any safety or security event encountered.

Safety & Security Practices

Safety

To ensure staff and participant comfort and preparedness for any unexpected situations, we implement stringent safety protocols. 


  • Each session begins with a safety video outlining key procedures, followed by a detailed briefing. 
  • Our comprehensive safety measures cover a range of scenarios, including fire, earthquake, and medical emergencies. 
  • Our initial registration phase requires the designation of an emergency contact person for every participant.
  • Our staff are thoroughly trained and regularly quizzed on the procedures for various scenarios, with team leaders holding relevant certifications, ensuring readiness to handle any situation that may arise.
  • LAUSM maintains an Emergency Care Team (ECT) comprising certified first responders specifically trained to handle medical emergencies. This dedicated team is equipped with the necessary skills and resources to provide immediate assistance and medical care as needed.  
  • Medical evacuation where required (hospital transport) in cases of escalations is immediately coordinated to the nearest LAU Medical Center (LAUMC Rizk Hospital or LAUMC St. John's Hospital) or in severe cases (upon medical expert recommendation) to the closest available hospital.

Security

To ensure staff and participant comfort and preparedness for any unexpected security situations, we implement stringent security protocols.

  • LAU Campuses and all LAUSM event access is restricted solely to valid LAUSM ID holders.
  • LAU Campus gates are closely monitored through ID scanning systems ensuring all time awareness of registered participants on campus.
  • We continue to monitor the full campus grounds throughout the day to ensure highest levels of composure and abidance by regulations.
  • We have a robust notification system that promptly informs registered advisors and school principals of necessary updates according to our escalation policies for safety and security escalations.
  • LAU is a non-smoking campus and appropriate measures are taken towards any breachers.
  • LAU security personnel are available for any escalations or required interventions.
  • All reports of suspicious activity or non-compliance are handled by program management as soon as they are reported with an the necessary investigations carried out. 

Safety & Security Protocol Activation

Lockdown

In case a lockdown is necessitated during LAUSM hours, LAUSM will promptly communicate through email and social media, along with updates on our website (to be announced). Students will remain in safe designated areas on our campuses until we officially confirm their safety. Once confirmed, we will initiate an "EEDP" (described below) and request that school advisors or the assigned guardian pick them up from our campuses. A verification process will be ensured at campus gates using our digital system of LAUSM databases and IDs.

Priority Notification System

Priority Notification System

Emergency Early Dismissal

If we need to stop LASUM early due to an emergency, we will implement an "Emergency Early Dismissal Procedure" (EEDP). Notifications will be sent via email and social media, along with updates on our website (to be announced). 


We will also request school advisors or the designated guardian to pick delegates form campus at their designated EEDP location. 


Understanding that you might not be available for an emergency early dismissal, we'll send a message requesting the contact details of an authorized person who can pick up your child if you're unavailable. Your swift response to this message is crucial. A verification process will be ensured at campus gates using our digital system of LAUSM databases and IDs.

Ministry Enforced Closure

In the event that the Minister of Education requests the closure of educational institutions, we will swiftly transition to online teaching and learning should the situation in the country allow for it, or we will announce the date for a rescheduled session. We will remain in continuous coordination with all participants.


DEIA, Title IX, & Code of Conduct

DEIA & Title IX

DEIA:  Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.  


DEIA signifies a commitment to fostering an environment that values and respects differences. 


  • It aims to create a culture where everyone, regardless of their background, identity, or abilities, is treated equitably and has equal access to opportunities. 
  • LAUSM promotes the understanding, celebrate diversity, and ensure that all voices are heard and included, fostering a truly inclusive and harmonious community.


Title IX


Title IX is a 1972 education amendment to the American Civil Rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. 


Zero Tolerance for:


  • 2.1.34 - Harassing, intimidating, threatening, or coercing any member of the LAU community
  • 2.1.35 - Bullying a member of the LAU community (e.g., social media harassment)
  • 2.1.36 - Using any form of media to falsely accuse, defame, or smear the reputation of a member of the LAU community

In addition to the above, and as of 2011-2012 Academic Year, the Lebanese American University became a non-smoking academic institution, thus smoking is prohibited within university campuses and premises.
