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.
Kitchen safety and scalds
— Fit TMVs to sinks or label hot outlets clearly. Supervise kettle and hob use; provide mats and protective gear. Keep tea points separate from activity zones and teach safe appliance use.
Lone working during lock-up or cleaning
— Use a check-in/out system, ensure staff carry phones, and prohibit high-risk tasks alone. Secure doors before cleaning and check escape routes. Train volunteers in lone-working policies.
Allergies and medication readiness
— Gather allergy and health info for all participants. Store medication in a labelled box with an assigned leader. Train staff in recognising reactions and ensure epi-pens/inhalers are immediately accessible.
