Typical hazards & measures
Accessibility barriers for SEND pupils
— Pre-visit with SENDCO to assess lifts, ramps, and quiet rooms. Provide easy-read guides, induction loops, and sensory bags. Train museum staff on adjustments. Build a bespoke schedule for high-needs students.
Trips, slips, and falls
— Conduct a pre-visit to flag uneven flooring, loose carpets, or steps. Instruct pupils to walk in single file, install signage for hazards, and place staff at bottlenecks. Ensure museum cleaning schedules clear debris and spills quickly.
Theft or loss of personal belongings
— Use secure cloakrooms or trolleys with teacher oversight. Advise pupils to bring minimal valuables. Conduct bag checks before departure and assign a teacher to supervise belongings during gallery moves.
Exhibit-related electrical hazards
— Confirm PAT testing records, use RCDs for temporary exhibits, and route cables away from public paths. Train staff to isolate circuits quickly. Do not allow unsupervised access to interactive areas with live components.
Hazardous or toxic materials in exhibits
— Liaise with curators to confirm all handling collections are safe. Keep any hazardous objects sealed. Only allow supervised handling of replicas; prohibit student access to behind-the-scenes storage. Log all collections risk assessments.
