Development of a Safety Management Manual for Public Libraries

Abstract

The study, on the one hand, reflects the recent social interest in crisis management including user safety and library disaster preparation, and, on the other hand, presents a detailed safety management manual that is a reference for library work sites concerning accidents that may occur in public libraries. The proposed safety management manual consists of safety management elements for the four areas of ‘safety management planning’, ‘safety management for each crisis type’, ‘information resource restoration’, and ‘safety management checklist’, as well as their detailed sub-categories. This allows each public library site to use the manual to establish safety management plans according to their situation and educate their employees. 키워드: 공공도서관, 안전관리, 안전관리 매뉴얼, 위기별 안전관리, 체크리스트 Public Libraries, Safety Management, Safety Management Manual, Safety Management Checklist
