Health & Safety

Fire

When the fire alarm goes, leave the room quickly and assemble at one of the fire assembly points on the car park. Your teacher will lead you and, once outside, will check all the group on the register.

Smoking

Smoking is not permitted in any of the buildings or the grounds.

Accidents

Aim to prevent accidents by handling equipment sensibly and carefully. Always ask advice from your teacher or technician if unsure about using equipment or if you think there could be a risk to safety.

Tell the teacher about any accident and appropriate help will be provided, there are (several) First Aiders. If hospital care is needed, the telephone switchboard is informed and an ambulance is called.

Accident forms (available from the Office) should be completed and then returned.

Insurance

The Centre has a general public liability policy, but this does not cover theft and/or damage of bikes and cars, or damage or theft of possessions and money.

While you are away from the premises on visits, every reasonable care is taken for your safety.
