Risk Assessment for Primary and Junior Schools
The Risk Assessment document is the most popular document produced by CMS. The generic risk assessments start at the school gate and cover most aspects of primary school life. It has been developed over a number of years while assisting a large variety of schools to implement health and safety systems to meet legislative requirements.
Very many schools have bought the document on recommendations from fellow Head Teachers who have used it. The system has also been seen by Health and Safety Executive Inspectors who expressed satisfaction with it. Many schools have also reported that the OFSTED inspectors were suitably impressed with it. We frequently have urgent telephone requests for this package because, "Our OFSTED is starting next week and we have heard it will help us".
The process follows the standard format of risk assessment.
- Identify the hazards
- Ask who may be harmed and how?
- A series of control measures are suggested - do you have them in place?
- Review and revise
The document effectively turns your risk assessment into a set of standards for you to make comparisons with. If you have these standards, or control measures, in place, simply tick them off and the job is done. If they are not in place, use the suggested control measure, or devise your own. If this reduces the risk back to low again, the job is done.
Everyone who has used this document confirms that it is much easier than starting from scratch. All too often, the comment has been, "We can do this now. Left on our own, we don't get started".
