Health and Safety in schools

Ensuring health and safety in schools is an essential part of any school manager's responsibility and to do this successfully, an effective health and safety management system needs to be in place.

One of the key elements of health and safety management is monitoring the effectiveness of the safety policy, which can be achieved by the use of a checklist. The results from such a checklist will be vital in analysing strengths and weaknesses within the organisation and for future inspection and reporting to the Board of Governors.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (NI) 2000 require that suitable and sufficient assessments of the risk arising out of work are carried out.

If you require a Health and Safety risk assessment form this will be available from the risk assessment page, however, this is currently under review and should be accessible in the near future.
