The Governing Body is committed to:

• The provision of safe and healthy conditions for pupils, employees and visitors.

• Compliance with all relevant health and safety legislation.

• Eliminating, so far as is reasonably practicable, all accidents.

The co-operation of employees, pupils, parents and contractors is required to achieve these objectives, and minimise injuries and work related ill health.

The main hazards and risk control arrangements are detailed in Section 3 of the policy below.

It is impossible to list every hazard likely to be present at any time and therefore everyone must be continually vigilant to ensure that any new hazards are identified and appropriate arrangements implemented to control the risks.

If in doubt about anything to do with health and safety, stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and ask. Where necessary, specialist advice will be obtained.

This Health and Safety Policy will be reviewed annually and amended as necessary in the light of new developments and information gathered from monitoring.
