should be made in conjunction with a trained first aider as to whether or not it would be betterto exclude them from a particular activity on medical grounds.e).f).g).Doors may be locked if staff leave the room/workshop. Pupils are not allowed to enter or work in aDesign and Technology room/workshop unless actively supervised.Pupils and staff are not to eat or drink in a room/workshop - this includes break and lunch times.All pupils must wear safety spectacles or goggles (which are provided) for the following activities, and inany situation where they are observing others carrying out the following activities - ordinary spectaclesdo not provide sufficient protection:lathe work - wood and metal;milling machine;drilling machines;disk sander;polishing machines;Hegner saws;acid bath;paint spraying;mortising machine;jigsaw;power hacksaw;soldering;hammering;punchwork and chiselling;notching guillotine;blowtorch;Oxy-acetylene welding;handling wire or springs.N.B.h).i).j).k).l).A suitable head/hand shield must be used for electric arc welding.However, despite providing general protection, pupils should be discouraged from wearing safetyspectacles all the time particularly when a low or no risk activity such as drawing or marking out calls foruninterrupted vision. Pupils who normally wear spectacles may choose to wear goggles over them foradded protection.Aprons must be worn when pupils use chemicals.Gas and electricity must be switched off at the mains at the end of the day - the location of mainsswitches/taps is clearly indicated in each area.Many chemicals commonly used in schools can usually be disposed of by washing down the sink welldiluted with large quantities of water. If in doubt consult the Head of Department and the Technician.Metal powders necessitate special care and reference should be made to relevant COSHHrecommendations and advice.At the end of a lesson staff are to ensure that all machines/equipment have been rendered safe. Ifapplicable, such items must be 'guarded' and be able to be 'rendered safe' when not in use by the use ofkey switches / padlocks / covers, etc. 'Guards' on machinery must never be removed except by thosequalified to do so.Staff should ensure that the pupils leave the area in an orderly manner. If fire exits are used this canreduce the congestion, which is often heavy, in the corridors.Page 54 of 86Doc ID: AP/H&S/01 Originator: ANCA Approved: Gov.Body Issue: 2 Date: 22/09/2010
m).Particular care should be given to the distribution and collection of hand-tools and of small items ofequipment, the number and condition of which should be checked at both the beginning and the end ofan activity or a lesson.n).o).Notices identifying large items of machinery or equipment, giving instructions on how to use them safely,and warning of any potential hazards, must be prominently displayed in positions adjacent to them.Dealing with accidents and emergencies:i. ACCIDENTS:In the event of a pupil injuring themselves, dealing with that incident must take priority. All workin the workshop must STOP and pupils must be asked to sit quietly without working or usingequipment further until the incident has been dealt with and the welfare of the injured party hasbeen organised. Pupils must be made aware of the circumstances leading up to the accident andan appropriate short discussion about the incident should serve as an example to others.Small cuts, abrasions and minor burns can be dealt with using the first aid facilities available ineach room and workshop. More serious matters which it is considered warrant the attention of aqualified 'first aider' should be referred to the school office. (Phone extension 3000). A runnermay be sent from a room not served by a phone.All accidents however minor should be reported in the SCHOOL ACCIDENT BOOK by the end ofthe day on which they occur. The accident book must then be countersigned by the Headteacher. A photocopy of the accident book entry must be forwarded to the DOS so that anyincident involving faulty or dangerous equipment/situations can be dealt with at the earliestopportunity. A file to contain such entries is held in the departmental office.Pupils should be encouraged to report all injuries however minor and should be reassured that nopunishment will be given or sanctions taken against them. Pupils should also be reminded atregular intervals and especially during practical demonstrations about the course of action thatthey should take immediately following a personal injury and before the member of staff hasarrived to take charge.For burns, cuts and acid splashes, COLD water should be applied copiously to the affected part.For burns and acid splashes the affected area should be irrigated for at least 10 minutes. Anycuts and abrasions should be dealt with in accordance with the 'HIV preventative protocol'.ii.For acid splashes to the eyes and face, pupils should be instructed to put their head over the sinkand to quickly splash COLD water into their eyes and on to the face in order to dilute the acid.ILLNESS & SICKNESS DURING LESSONS:Pupils must be encouraged to report that they are feeling unwell during a lesson if it is likely thattheir condition would cause them to loose concentration or become faint. They should haveconfidence in knowing that such matters are regarded seriously from a health and safety point ofview (chances of falling on to moving parts or against sharp or solid objects) and that providedthey have a genuine case it will not be deemed as 'lead swinging'. Opportunities must beafforded in such circumstances for the pupil to leave the room to visit the cloakroom, get somefresh air, have a drink of water, etc. The advice of the school first aider should also be sought ifthere is cause for concern or if it is thought that the incident is not genuine.However, pupils mustnot leave the room/workshop area without first informing the member of staff of the situationand they must be in possession of an OUT OF CLASS PASS at all times.Page 55 of 86Doc ID: AP/H&S/01 Originator: ANCA Approved: Gov.Body Issue: 2 Date: 22/09/2010
