Managing health and safety is little different from managing any other aspect of school business.
Managing health and safety is about:
- developing a clear statement of policy for health and safety
- having in place an organisational structure to implement the policy
- identifying risks through suitable and sufficient risk assessments
- planning and implementing risk control measures
- inspecting premises and investigating incidents
- reviewing procedures periodically
