## 4 Design and Management of a Self-Protection Plan: A Case Study for Spanish Public Buildings
### Best Practices in the Practical Field
#### 4.3.3 Best Practices in the Management and Control Field  
In the \"Procedure 18. Self-protection Plan\" of the Andalusian Health Service [42] mentioned above, different tools are available to facilitate the management and control of self-protection. Among them, we find a flowchart that divides the implementation of the Self-Protection Plan into three phases, as well as different documents for the management of occupational risk prevention, such as consultations and designation of workers, information on simulations, and their results.  
The Practical Guide for the preparation and implementation of self-protection plans and/or emergency measures in Extremaduran companies [18] indicates the steps to follow to carry out their mandatory regional registration, incorporating an application model for the procedure, bringing together in a single document all the information related to the design and management of the Plan.  
The Health and Safety Manual in nursing homes published by the Mutual Collaborator of Social Security No. 61 FREMAP [47] addresses preventive issues for general and specific risks, as well as the measures that are necessarily adopted to face them by all workers and staff who carry out their professional work in this type of center. Interesting are the rules of action that it proposes in the event of a fire and it is necessary to carry out an evacuation of the resident staff.  
The Trade Union Confederation of Workers' Commissions published, with the collaboration of the Foundation for the Prevention of Occupational Risks, the document, \"Emergency measures in centers that serve people with disabilities\" [48], where the information is collected, aimed at the workers of these residences, arranged in files, with both theoretical and practical information on documentary preventive means, materials, guidelines, and verification methods or practical examples.  
On the web portal of the company Enion, an engineering and consultancy specializing in fire protection and security [49], a news article is presented on the management of protection and security in nursing homes and care centers. As indicated, in addition to updating the Self-Protection Plan and the theoretical and practical training of workers, it is essential to know the situational particularities of the residents to anticipate their possible reactions and to be able to have the appropriate means.  
A final example of management and control of self-protection in a public administration can be found in the Madrid City Council [50], which, in 2005, carried out an implementation and development of integrated preventive activity with which it was possible to reduce the number accidents and sick leave among its employees. These results were the result of the Occupational Risk Prevention Management Model, which included tools such as the implementation and monitoring of self-protection plans in all municipal buildings. For its management and control, the Madrid City Council created the Self-Protection Commission, with the aim of monitoring the implementation of said plans and carrying out their periodic review. As can be seen in the data provided, the evolution of the accident rate, specifically the frequency rate, was decreasing.
