All staff and students must be fully conversant with the procedures for evacuation of the premises. Evacuation procedures will be tested each term and improved from an evaluation of each test. The evacuation and safety of visitors and contractors will be the responsibility of the person who they are visiting or working for. 4.3 All fire-fighting equipment will be checked annually by an approved contractor and records maintained. The fire alarm will be tested weekly from different points when the site is not in use and records maintained. All emergency lighting will be tested six-monthly and records maintained. 4.4 The Academy Fire Risk Assessment will be maintained and regularly reviewed. Priorities from the Fire Risk Assessment will be incorporated into the Academy maintenance plans. REPORTING ACCIDENTS AND ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION 4.5 All accidents to staff, students and visitors must be reported, in writing, using the Academy s accident report form. The completed form should be given to the Principal or the H&S Manager. Certain accidents must be reported to the Health and Safety Executive under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR). The Principal or the H&S Manager will ensure that the Health and Safety Executive is informed of reportable incidents, via the Local Authority Health and Safety section using the form at Appendix All accidents will be investigated aby an appointed person and the outcomes recorded. 4.7 After an investigation, a risk assessment will be carried out, or the existing assessment amended, to avoid a reoccurrence of the accident. 4.8 Significant accidents as defined in the RIDDOR 2013 must be reported to the HSE as soon as possible by and telephone.
7 REPORTING HAZARDS 4.9 Staff, students, contractors and visitors are encouraged to report any condition or practice they deemed to be a hazard. 4.7 Hazards should be reported to the Principal or caretaker. A verbal communication should be followed up by a written to ravenfield.primaryacademy.com (note after migration the will be info@ravenfieldprimaryacademy.com FIRST AID 4.6 First aid can save lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones. Under health and safety legislation, the Academy will ensure that there are adequately trained staff and appropriate equipment and facilities for providing first aid in the workplace. 4.7 A DfE good practice guide, Guidance on First Aid for Schools has been written to provide advice for schools on drawing up first aid policies and ensuring that they are meeting their statutory duties. A copy of this guidance on good practice can be found in the Admin Shared area under policies. EQUIPMENT AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 4.8 Protective clothing/gloves/masks/helmets must be provided and used by staff when required. Staff and students must be provided with and use protective glasses/eye shields when any potentially hazardous activity is undertaken (individual risk assessments). Visitors must be provided with protective clothing as appropriate. 4.9 The following equipment will be checked annually by approved inspectors or an appropriately trained member of staff: I. all electrical and gas appliances II. III. IV. fixed and portable gymnasium equipment lifts and hoists other plant & equipment, e.g. boilers, air handling units V. external doors and fire doors linked to the fire alarm panel 4.10 When new equipment is purchased, it is the responsibility of the Principal, with the assistance of the H&S Manager as necessary, to ensure that it meets appropriate educational standards and that its installation and use conforms to Health and Safety requirements Equipment, materials and chemicals must be stored in the appropriate storage containers and areas. All containers must be labelled with the correct hazard sign and contents label. Managers should consider storage life when ordering new supplies. Reference must be made to COSHH and the Ionising Radiations Regulations; copies of all relevant COSHH and regulations must be kept in the office
8 ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT 4.12 The academy has areas which are of CLASP construction and therefore contain asbestos. This is managed by the Caretaker under the supervision of the H&S manager. An asbestos plan is held in the office and the asbestos is examined regularly by the caretaker and inspections are logged in the asbestos management logbook It should be noted that the current asbestos survey is a type 2 survey and is therefore a purely visual inspection. Any area of the school which is of CLASP construction should be assumed to contain asbestos in all walls and pillars. (See Asbestos plan in staffroom) 4.14 Regular inspections will encompass all areas where asbestos is present and will look, where possible at: I. the physical condition of any asbestos visible any cracking/damage must be logged and reported immediately II. III. The condition of walls/pillars within which asbestos is sealed to ensure that the risk of particles escaping into the school environment is mitigated this includes the seals at the edges of pillars and between wall panels. The condition of ceiling tiles, ensuring that all are correctly positioned and no holes are present to minimize the risk of particular filtration from the open pillars The vast majority of asbestos is sealed within walls/structural pillars and is therefore unlikely to cause a risk unless it is disturbed by actions of contractors/staff members. Any member of staff or contractor must ensure they are familiar with the position of asbestos in the building prior to any work commencing and contractors must sign the asbestos register. It is the responsibility of the reception staff/caretaker, under the supervision of the H&S Manager, to ensure this document is signed by all contractors, even if there appears little risk that asbestos will be disturbed If a member of staff sees damage to/damages an area where they suspect asbestos is present, it is their responsibility to report it immediately to the caretaker/h&s Manager. This must then be dealt with in line with the asbestos management plan and appropriate bodies informed. 5 HOUSEKEEPING 5.1 The Site Manager will monitor the cleaning standards of the cleaners. The standard required is laid down in the cleaning specification. Special consideration will be given to hygiene areas. 5.2 The Site Manager will monitor the efficiency of the waste collection service, including clinical waste and normal refuse. 5.3 The Site Manager will ensure that plant rooms are clear of items of equipment and materials and not used as additional store rooms. 5.4 All staff should ensure that fire escapes within their working environment are kept clear at all times.
9 6 VISITS 6.1 Educational trips and visits must be organised in accordance with the Academy s Off Site Procedures and are subject to individual risk assessment through the Evolve system. 7. VISITORS TO THE ACADEMY SITE 7.1 All visitors to the Academy will sign in at the reception. 7.2 Visitors will be collected from reception by the member of staff concerned or escorted to the appropriate area of the Academy. 7.3 Health & Safety/Fire Evacuation information to be provided to visitors on arrival. 7.4 No contractor may undertake work on the Academy site without permission from the Site Manager or Business Manager. Contractors must complete a Permit to Work Form before any work is undertaken. 7.5 Contractors are responsible for the Health and Safety of their employees and for their safe working practices, which must not constitute a hazard to staff, students and visitors to the Academy. 7.6 Hirers of the Academy premises must use plant, equipment and substances correctly and use the appropriate safety equipment. They will be made aware of their obligations in relation to Health and Safety when making the booking. Outside the Academy school hours, hirers should put in place their own procedures for the evacuation of buildings in the event of an emergency. 7.7 Whilst on site, all visitors and contractors must wear an Academy visitor s badge. Cleaning contractor s employees must wear an identifiable uniform or an identity badge at all times. Temporary teaching staff on cover duties will be required to indicate their presence in the Academy by reporting to reception and their induction will be completed by the Office Manager. 8 SECURITY 8.1 All staff should be conscious of all aspects of the security of people and property. In particular, the emergency exit doors on the outer perimeter of the buildings should only be used in the event of emergencies and kept secure at all other times. 8.2 Maintaining security is aimed at reducing the opportunity for unauthorised persons to enter the buildings through non-designated access points. It is also necessary to be alert to the possible presence of unauthorised persons on site who may constitute a threat to staff, students and bona-fide visitors and contractors. 8.2 If a member of staff meets someone on site who they do not recognise and is not wearing a visitors badge, they should, if they do not feel threatened, enquire if the person needs assistance and direct them either to the Academy reception or off the site, as appropriate.
10 8.3 If an intruder is uncooperative in going to the reception or leaving the site, or a member of staff feels threatened, or is threatened with violence or a violent attack takes place, immediate help from the Police should be sought by telephone. A runner to the reception for a 999 call may be quicker than using the internal telephone system 9 TRAINING 9.1 Staff will undertake/have access to relevant health & safety training to help them carry out their responsibilities. 9.2 Staff should not use specialist equipment or materials without the correct training. 10 THE ROLE OF THE HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE AND STAFF CONSULTATIVE ARRANGEMENTS 10.1 The role and constitution of the Health & Safety Committee and arrangements for staff to report health & safety matters can be found in Annex 12 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REVIEW 11.1 The Governing Body will review this policy at every year and assess its implementation and effectiveness HEALTH AND SAFETY AND EDUCATION LEGISLATION: Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 legislation explained The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations RIDDOR - HSE The Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations
