Typical hazards & measures
Handling hazardous substances
— Ensure all chemicals are stored safely, labeled clearly, and accompanied by Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Provide proper PPE such as gloves, goggles, and masks, and ensure staff are trained in safe handling procedures.
Unauthorised access to work areas
— Install temporary barriers and signage to restrict access to maintenance zones, and ensure all hazardous areas are locked when unattended. Provide identification for authorized personnel.
Building access
— Implement controlled access measures such as keycards, visitor logs, or security personnel to manage who enters the building. Ensure all doors, especially those used for maintenance, are secured when not in use, and only authorized personnel have access to restricted areas.
External contractors
— Ensure that all external contractors are fully briefed on the school's safety protocols before starting work. Require contractors to sign in and out, wear identification, and restrict their access to designated areas. Monitor their work periodically to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Electrical hazards
— Ensure only certified electricians handle electrical systems, lock out and tag out circuits during maintenance, and inspect wiring regularly. Provide proper PPE, including insulated tools and equipment.
