Typical hazards & measures
Housekeeping of routes and exits
— Clear storerooms and backstage; remove spare chairs from aisles; secure doors open during ingress/egress only. Assign a last-sweep role before lights down.
Lost child or separation
— Assign zone marshals, use visible row signage, and conduct headcounts by class on exit. Agree rendezvous points and "stay put, adult finds you" messaging.
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.
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.
Outdoor or off-site assembly weather
— Check forecasts, shade in sun, shelter in rain/wind, and move to wet-weather plans early. Mark dry routes on grass and keep a heated indoor fallback.
