Typical hazards & measures
- Trip hazards from cables and kit — Route AV/PA cables overhead or under mats, tape down runs, keep cases off aisles, and mark low stands. Do a pre-open sweep to remove bags/coats from floors and steps.
- Infection transmission (respiratory) — Encourage hand/respiratory hygiene, ventilate well, rotate cohorts rather than whole-school daily, and keep symptomatic pupils out. Offer streaming for vulnerable groups.
- Blocked or inadequate egress — Keep aisles/doors clear, tape chair rows to preserve gangways, station stewards at exits, and rehearse two-route evacuations. Remove trip sources from routes and test door furniture before events.
- Vehicle interfaces at drop-off zones — Marshal coach bays and car loops, cone pedestrian lanes, hold releases until traffic stops, and brief drivers on speed and no-idling rules.
- Temporary staging/risers instability — Use rated platforms, lock legs/guardrails, level and pin modules, add edge protection, and load within spec. Put a competent person in charge, inspect before use, and close if creaks/deflection appear.
