Info

notice being given about items which need to cool down over a period of time. Particular care needs tobe taken at the end of a working session with the storage of:Tools which can cause injuries through incorrect storage and handling:Sharp edged tools such as kitchen knives, Stanley and craft knives, scalpels, wood chisels, scissors, metalcutting snips, scribers, scribing blocks and surface gauges, engineers dividers, odd leg calliper, centrepunches, wood and metal cutting hand saws, lathe tools, planes, saw tooth cutters and wood drills,marking gauges, marking knives, screwdrivers.Tools which get hot with use:Pick up and forge tongs, soldering irons, saucepans, crucibles, ladles, casting flasks, ingot moulds, glueguns.Equipment which gets hot with use:Ovens of all types, forges, welding equipment, casting equipment, brazing and other gas torches, brazinghearth areas, vacuum forming machines, laminate steamers, plastic sheet benders, hot wire cutters, gluepots, sandwich makers, waffle irons, domestic irons, kettles, food steamers, Bunsen burners, boiling rings.At the end of every working session, unused raw materials should be returned to bins/racks, etc. There shouldalso be some organised system for storing short ends and off-cuts. Machines, work surfaces, benches and sinkareas should be cleared of tools and work pieces and then brushed/wiped clean ready for the next lesson.All protective clothing should be returned to a suitable storage location and checked for damage that could affectusage in subsequent lessons.All waste materials should be disposed of safely and where hazardous waste is concerned, reference should bemade to the relevant COSHH regulations. Oil or other chemical spills should be cleared immediately, particularlywhere there is risk of contamination to clothing or a work area. Oil and water spills on floors are particularlyhazardous and may require the attention of cleaning staff - in the short term, sawdust and shavings can be usedto 'mop up', but should then be cleared by sweeping.Large volumes of shavings, sawdust and plastic cuttings are likely to constitute a fire hazard and so clearance anddisposal should take place on a regular basis, rather than at the end of the day. Excessive dust from machiningoperations and 'walked in' dirt contribute to respiratory problems and should be removed by vacuuming on aregular basis, rather than by sweeping. Filters on warm air central heating systems should be checked andcleaned regularly in particularly dusty environments.Metal cuttings, shavings, swarf and shards from guillotines present a particular hazard to fingers and feet. Allsuch waste should be removed to a safe place as it accumulates and certainly before there is so much that pupilsand other personnel start to walk on it. Swarf and sharp metal off-cuts should only be handled with gloves,scrapers and push sticks and under no circumstances should swarf be 'gathered' from a lathe, drilling machine,shaper or milling machine whilst the machine is operational.Pupils should always be warned about the dangers of 'blowing' sawdust or filings away from a work surface orbrushing away cuttings with their hands. Bench brushes should always be on hand for cleaning purposes as wellas rags for wiping up a spillage.At the end of the day and particularly at weekends, all tool and storage cupboards should be locked, key switchesand main electrical supplies isolated, gas valves closed, all guillotines chained and padlocked and all electricalequipment turned off. It should never be assumed that the Premises Manager or cleaning staff will notice thatthe workshop or Food Technology room is in an unsafe condition - it is the responsibility of the teacher in chargeof the room to make sure that all systems are safe, all hot items are cool and that everything is closed downsafely before they leave the building.Page 58 of 86Doc ID: AP/H&S/01 Originator: ANCA Approved: Gov.Body Issue: 2 Date: 22/09/2010
During long school holidays, it is good practice to remove all torches, burners and regulators from gas cylindersand to fit screw plugs as an added precaution to prevent any leakage of gas.Section 3.Control/take actionFor routine issues the initial decision as to the necessary remedial action or risk control measures that need to beintroduced is often taken by the DOS (level 2 manager) using budget resources directly under his/her control. Forlarger issues the Head teacher (level 1 manager) would consult with the Governing Body - best advice would beobtained from the DOS. The Governing body may be required to reallocate or divert resources accordingly.a).Actions can be prioritised based upon the level of risk and can take many forms, e.g.i. Estimate any costs incurred in changing practice and obtain or request relevant funding. N.B.Whenever training is statutory, or considered a necessity for the safety of staff, pupils and others,the Governing Body will ensure - within the financial resources available - that such training isprovided. Pupils receive training appropriate to the learning activities in which they participate.Records will be kept of all training and staff/ pupil/ student training will be regularly updated.ii.(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)After assessing the competence of staff and pupils in dealing with particular situations, it may benecessary to offer staff training or provide them with information. By informing staff andproviding appropriate training we hope to minimise any risk and to encourage the staff to reportincidents promptly in the accident log. When designing and implementing a training programmeit is important to analyse the expressed needs of all staff involved. This is primarily done byanalysis of the questionnaire returns during the annual Health and Safety audit. Thequestionnaire provides a survey of individual, departmental and Whole School needs. There arefour groups of people that need to be involved in formulating the training programme:the teaching staff;those involved in staff development and training;those responsible for school management including the Governing body;members of the Safety Committee.See Section e). for further details on staff and pupil training.b).Where to find information.i. ‘Academy. Safety File'.. This contains safety circulars from the LEA. and is stored in the Prep.room. It also contains the following important documents:ii.iii.iv.the Academy.'s 'Health and Safety Policy'. It contains amongst other information a list of safetycirculars;the School's 'Health and Safety Policy'. It contains amongst other information a list of safetyreps. and how to liaise with them;the data 'Health and Safety In Art and Design Technology'. It should contain amongst otherinformation contacts for the disposal of unwanted chemicals.Hazcards - listing chemical hazards.Location of equipment handbooks. These are stored in a clearly labelled box in the departmentoffice.Teachers need to be familiar with the procedures for reporting accidents, particularly those thatconstitute an emergency. Notices clearly stating the action to be taken in the case of a fire, a gasleak, or someone receiving an electric shock, must be prominently displayed throughout theDepartment's accommodation.Page 59 of 86Doc ID: AP/H&S/01 Originator: ANCA Approved: Gov.Body Issue: 2 Date: 22/09/2010
