Addressing the Growing Concern of Vaping in Schools
The prevalence of vaping has risen among adolescents and young adults, but regrettably, it is now a mounting worry within educational institutions.
The utilisation of vaping gadgets like e-cigarettes in schools is prohibited and additionally endangers students’ wellbeing and security.
Preventing students from vaping requires a multi-faceted approach involving education, enforcement, and support. Here are some potential strategies:
Education
Educate students about the dangers of vaping through health classes, school assemblies, and other educational programs. Provide them with factual information about the health risks associated with vaping and the addictive nature of nicotine. Encourage them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Enforcement
Establish clear and consistent rules regarding vaping on school grounds and enforce them rigorously. Use disciplinary measures such as detention or suspension to discourage students from vaping. Consider implementing random locker or bag searches to deter students from bringing vaping devices to school.
Support
Provide resources and support to students who want to quit vaping. This can include counselling, nicotine replacement therapy, or referral to community resources. Encourage students to seek help and provide a safe and supportive environment for them to do so.
Collaboration
Work with parents, community organisations, and local law enforcement to create a comprehensive approach to addressing vaping. This can involve public awareness campaigns, increased regulation of the sale of vaping products, and collaboration with local businesses to discourage the sale of vaping products to minors.
By using a combination of these strategies, in conjunction with Verkada’s Vape Sensor, schools can create a supportive and safe environment that discourages students from vaping and promotes healthy habits.

SV21 temperature measurements are accurate from 23°F – 122°F (-5 -45°C). As with other data streams, users can customise temperature alerts if a space is kept at a temperature outside of the recommended green zone.
CO₂ measurements capture the absolute level of CO₂ in an environment. At levels of 800ppm or less, CO₂ is harmless. Between 800 and 2000ppm, CO₂ levels can be harmful to health, at levels above 2000ppm, CO₂ can be extremely harmful to human health.
Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to what the air can hold at that temperature.

Verkada’s Vape Index is a score derived from multiple sensors that is strongly correlated with vaping and/or smoking activity but could also reflect smoke or fumes from other sources. Smoke from cooking, burning fuel or wildfires may register highly on the Vape Index.
TVOC is a total measure of Volatile Organic Compounds which are chemicals that evaporate into the air and are emitted by cleaners, paints, varnishes, fragrances and hundreds of other products. Examples include benzene, ethylene glycol and formaldehyde. Measure as a TVOC index, VOCs are measured as a group because of their cumulative effects, with high TVOC values associated with negative health impacts.
A measure of total noise level at the sensor. OSHA regulations state that noise levels cannot exceed 90 dBA over an 8-hour period, or 95 dBA over a 4-hour period.
The U.S. AQI measures total air pollution and provides benchmarks for healthy values. When AQI exceeds 100, air quality is unhealthy – at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher.
Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) refers to tiny inhalable particles or droplets in the air that are less than 2.5 microns in width. These particles can have negative health effects and are caused by dust, vehicle exhaust, burning fuels, cooking, smoking and vaping.
A measure of changes in infrared light absorption caused by the motion of warm bodies, as measured by a passive infrared sensor. Powered by the same technology as motion sensors for intrusion detection, a motion event indicates human/animal motion or other large changes in infrared activity.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Pressure
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odourless, colourless gas that can be deadly. Measured in parts per million (ppm), CO is found in the fumes produced anytime fuel is burned on trucks, engines, stoves, grills or furnaces. Left undetected, CO can build up indoors and poision people or animals who breathe it.
Formaldehyde is a colourless, flammable gas that is used in many common compounds such as building materials, paints, fertilisers and as a byproduct of combustion from fuel-burning appliances or cigarette smoke. Formaldehyde has a strong odour and can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat and can cause some types of cancer.
With Verkada Sensors, you can understand light patterns, ensure a safe occupant experience and help improve building energy savings. Measured in lux, Ambient Light readings allow you to see light conditions in real-time and set alerts based on customised thresholds to protect and optimise your spaces.
Barometric pressure, or atmospheric pressure, is a
measure of the weight of air. Measured in hectoPascals
(hPa), barometric pressure is impacted by the outdoor
climate and indoor conditions like running HVAC systems
or temperature.
An audio recording system powered by an omnidirectional
digital microphone that can record up to 365 days of audio
on any SV25 device. Audio recording is disabled by default
and also comes with standard privacy features that ensure
audio recording capabilities are deployed in a way that
respects individuals’ privacy.
Verkada Command
In addition to monitoring air quality conditions, Verkada SV20 Series Sensors make it easy to display Air Quality fundamentals across all of your facilities. Starting with Command, users can configure custom dashboards to display and visualise air quality information with powerful, intuitive dashboards. Dashboards can be viewed through the Command web application and can be displayed on various third-party screens and devices including TV monitors, tablets and more.
Last but not least, Verkada’s Air Quality Sensors can be managed from the Verkada Command Mobile app, which allows customers to easily monitor air quality conditions while on the go. In addition to Command Mobile, customers can notify staff of important air quality events with SMS or email alerts to gather more proactive information on their environmental conditions.

Here's what a few of our customers have to say...
John and his team are the reason that we stay with Telstra for our Business. John is always available to help us, and we trust him completely. Sam just installed a new NEC phone system and he was great. It's not very often you come across someone as good as Sam at teltech. We have had Sam for quite a few jobs with teltech and he is so knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. We know if Sam is helping us, all will be ok. Thanks to all at Teltech.
Thank you to John & the team for their service in keeping our school operations up and running.
Over the years John has always acted promptly, whether it be the phones have gone down due to power outage & or admin accounts query’s.
We recently required a new handset install and John arranged this in a few days.
RPS having been very happy with the service overall.
I just wanted to touch base to tell you how much I appreciated yours and Adam's help trying to redirect our phone lines in case of a school shutdown. Due to the major works happening at our school it was not a straight forward procedure but at no time did either of you let this bother you. You both persisted until we achieved a positive result. Your knowledgable, efficient and timely work on this is very much acknowledged and appreciated.
May I take this opportunity to say a personal thank you to you and your team for the professional and helpful way you went about getting us connected to the wired world. There was little fuss and bother, you guys just went about your tasks despite all the activity and disruption going around and delivered what you promised. Thank you from the small team at Power Parameters.
I am very happy with the service from Teltech ICT. If there ever has been a problem or fault, Teltech ICT are prompt in their response and the techs have always done a great job, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else due to the above.
I just wanted to thank you and your team for the help you have given in organising the contract for our new phone system. It was quite a daunting task to arrange a new phone system for Ringwood Heights Primary but with the assistance of Teltech ICT, we now have a phone system that works like a dream with a number of features that are making our lives much easier. Your additional support has been very much appreciated. I would be very happy to endorse Teltech ICT to any business that is considering a new phone system.
I want to thank you for going the extra mile yesterday afternoon and supporting Marcellin College. Its greatly appreciated
Our relationship with Teltech ICT is and has been a great experience; from our sales and account support from Ross, he engages us frequently and informs us of where we can improve our current plans and infrastructure with our interests in mind.To the fantastic support and implementation guys like Scott and Sam, who have worked with us to scope and implement solutions that made sense to our company.We keep turning to Teltech ICT cos we know, being led by John, that Atherton will be supported and can develop as an organisation through their knowledge and skill.
Kevin provided excellent service as always and also assisted me with other things he was not called out for which was very much appreciated. His expertise is amazing and I did tell him he can't leave your company as I will undoubtedly need him again and I know he can solve any problem that occurs. Also thank you again for your prompt attention to my email yesterday and sending him out so quickly. Have a wonderful day.
I felt it necessary to take the time to pass on our sincere thanks to all the Teltech ICT management and staff for the seamless implementation and ongoing support of our new NEC system. As we are a very busy Primary School, we needed an experienced provider that could implement a new telephone solution without affecting our existing services and operations. After reviewing other providers, we are extremely happy to have selected Teltech ICT, who successfully migrated us to our new NEC system.
We found Teltech via a Facebook business group, we were having all kinds of issues, and no one locally was able to assist or get to the bottom of the issue. Mark was able to sort out our issues, they knew as did I that there had to be a solution, we just needed someone to want to take the time, and he did. The team at Teltech have been looking after our IT services ever since. We signed up to the service agreement so that we never have to experience the issues we have in the past, and we haven’t. If we have ever had any issues or concerns the team have always gotten back to us in a completely acceptable timeframe, and in small business that matters.
We are a business who values quality relationships in our business, with customers and suppliers, and with Teltech we have that.
