Health and Safety in Schools and Colleges

Quantum work with schools, colleges and universities helping them create an effective health and safety culture. By helping clients develop a structured approach to risk assessment, hazards faced by those using the academic buildings be it students, teachers, contractors, visitors or the public, are reduced.
 
Having clearly documented policies and procedures and making users aware of their presence and also building an understanding of their importance, is vital to achieving a positive health and safety culture.
 
There are a wealth of considerations, be it the Manual Handling Operations Regulations, Display Screen Equipment Regulations, Control of Asbestos, The Education (School Premises) Regulations or The Disability Discrimination Act; all have to be considered and properly managed to meet legal requirements.
 
Quantum Health and Safety Consultants can assist schools and colleges in their role of employers and providers and can advise on your duties in consulting on health and safety matters.

Consider these five steps to risk assessments:

  1. Look for the hazards
  2. Decide who might be harmed and how
  3. Evaluate the risks
  4. Record your findings
  5. Review your assessment and revise if necessary
  6. Emergency procedures
  7. Consider first aid
  8. Supporting pupils and students with their medical needs
