Typical hazards & measures
Behaviour management and group rules
— Give clear safety briefings, stop signals, and role allocations. Rotate staff between supervision zones. Pause sessions if behaviour becomes unsafe and use calm debriefs to reinforce expectations.
Gas appliances and carbon monoxide
— Service boilers and gas cookers annually by a Gas Safe engineer. Keep vents clear and fit CO alarms. Prohibit unflued heaters indoors and ventilate well during appliance use.
Furniture and obstruction management
— Clear unnecessary furniture from play areas. Store heavy tables and chairs in safe, designated spaces. Train leaders to lift in pairs, use trolleys for heavy loads, and brief participants never to move furniture unsupervised.
Craft tools, sharp items, and messy activities
— Provide age-appropriate scissors, knives, and adhesives. Supervise closely and count all tools in/out. Use protective table coverings and keep a spill kit ready.
Surrounding site hazards
— Patrol outside paths for litter, broken glass, or low lighting. Add reflective tape or bollards for night sessions. Assign adults outside during arrival/departure to supervise traffic and paths.
