- Fatigue, hydration and welfare — Schedule mid-session water/snack breaks; encourage bottle refills; rotate active/rest tasks; allow opt-outs for fatigue; monitor heat stress; keep spare water; note welfare checks in the club log and adjust plans if patterns emerge.
- Manual handling and kit moves — Use trolleys for bulk kit; team-lift heavy or awkward items; store at waist height; clear routes before moves; issue gloves for splinters; stop and reassess if a lift feels unstable; brief pupil helpers each term.
- Online safety and digital activity — Use filtered, monitored connections; approved platforms only; adult screens face the room; disable unsafe sites; never leave pupils online unsupervised; teach reporting; save relevant chat logs per policy.
- Cleaning chemicals and aerosols on site — Store products locked and labelled; use low-risk agents; never spray near food or pupils; schedule cleaning away from club areas; provide SDS access; ventilate rooms; isolate any accidental exposure and complete incident reports.
