Typical hazards & measures
- 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.
- 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.
- Movement between rooms — Map safe routes; signpost corridors; buddy pupils; close rooms not in use; unlock nearest toilets; brief pupils to "stop and stay put" if separated; staff key junctions; re-count on arrival; review bottlenecks after first week.
- 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.
- Attendance and headcounts — Use a live register at start/mid/end; reconcile numbers before any room change; mark authorised early departures with time/collector; investigate mismatches immediately; keep paper backup if tech fails; retain registers securely.
