Where reasonably practicable this policy will seek to provide and encourage:
- A safe place of work, safe access to it and safe egress from it;
- Plant, equipment and systems of work that are safe;
- Safe arrangements for the use, handling, storage and transport of articles or substances likely to cause harm;
- Sufficient information, instructions, training and supervision to enable all employees to avoid hazards and contribute positively to their safety and health at work;
- A healthy working environment;
- Adequate welfare facilities.
A no smoking policy will operate within the school and its grounds.
Whilst the school accepts that Health and Safety issues are the responsibility of the Board of Governors and Principal, these responsibilities can only be discharged with the full co-operation, advice and support of the SELB.
The Health and Safety Policy works closely with the school's First Aid Policy. A detailed copy of this is available on request from the school.
