Typical hazards & measures

  • Security and unauthorised access — Lock all doors once sessions start, install door viewers or intercoms, and maintain an entry log. Train leaders in handling unexpected visitors and keep emergency contacts posted near entrances.
  • 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.
