Typical hazards & measures
ICT misuse and online safety
— Enforce filtered, logged access, supervise use, display the acceptable use policy, require personal logins, provide privacy screens where appropriate, and route concerns quickly to safeguarding with evidence preserved.
Step-stools and reach aids
— Provide industrial step-stools near tall bays, train staff in three-point contact, prohibit pupil ladder use, keep stools inspected and dry, store them within reach to prevent stretching, and remove any damaged unit immediately from service.
Cleaning chemicals and wet floors
— Schedule mopping outside peak times, place high-visibility signs, cordon drying zones, store chemicals locked with SDS available, and train staff to neutralise and report spills promptly while rerouting foot traffic until fully dry.
Ergonomics and posture at desks
— Provide adjustable chairs and footrests, set monitors at eye height with neutral wrists, rotate tasks to reduce static sitting, schedule micro-breaks every 20–30 minutes, and display simple DSE prompts near ICT workstations.
Electrical safety at ICT areas
— PAT-test devices annually, fit RCD protection, ban daisy-chained extensions, isolate and tag any unit with heat, smell or arcing, keep sockets accessible for quick isolation, and site equipment clear of sinks and damp flooring.
