e).vi.Provision and replacement of eye wash bottles - each room/workshop is provided with an eyewash bottle. After use the water refill should be disposed of and a new replacement obtainedfrom the school office.Safety TrainingSafety training is offered to both staff and pupils. Four areas are particularly of concern in the design andimplementation of the 'In Service Training' programme:(1) Are the requirements of the Health and Safety policy being implemented?A focus here is to ensure that staff fully understand any systems put in place for their own and others'Health and Safety. Such training will minimize risks, and encourage staff to co-operate with themanagement and to correctly follow safety/reporting procedures. Staff and pupils should always be ableto perform their duties/activities in a healthy and safe manner.(2) Are staff allowed to consider their role and responsibilities as described in the AcademyHandbook and relevant policies?All staff need to be prepared to evaluate their own performance and skills. By doing so the staff will becomeincreasingly aware of their role and the ways in which that role can be made more effective.(3) Are staff given enough time, information and opportunities to prepare adequately for their roleand to develop the required skills – are they competent?A useful approach to helping staff develop such skills is first and foremost to help them identifythe skills they already have, perhaps by some form of self-rating check-list. More recently staffhave been trained in handling incidents involving offensive weapons and their rights onconfiscation and searching.(4) Are staff trained sufficiently to ensure that appropriate provision is maintained in the absenceof certain staff?Suitable Health and Safety training must be provided whenever staff have to work with new equipment (includingnew technology) or in a new system, e.g.new staff should be trained before taking up their formal duties;staff should be trained before taking up their formal duties in a new work area or job;staff should be trained before taking up new responsibilities;staff should be trained before participating in a new or different system of work.A review of the assessment of competence must be carried out if safety aspects of the work changesignificantly, i.e.HIGH RISK WORK – REVIEW ANNUALLYMEDIUM RISK WORK – REVIEW EVERY 2 YEARSLOW RISK – REVIEW EVERY 5 YEARSThe Health and Safety training must:be repeated periodically where applicable (refresher courses);take place during working hours;take account of new or changed risks to the employees.N.B. Managers must remain aware that it may be necessary to alter the nature of the job itself or proceduresrelated to the job if risks cannot be minimised to an acceptable level.Page 62 of 86Doc ID: AP/H&S/01 Originator: ANCA Approved: Gov.Body Issue: 2 Date: 22/09/2010
i. Safety Training For Staff:ii.Page 63 of 86It is expected that staff will make every effort to attend any safety training courses which are run fromtime to time by the LEA or other qualifying authority. Funding for safety training shall be given priorityover other courses wherever possible and particularly in the case of training urgently needed in orderthat a member of staff can use equipment required for National Curriculum pupil entitlement.It is expected that members of the department will make it known to the DOS if they feel that theirexperience does not extend to equipment or facilities which they are expected to use in the course oftheir employment. The DOS will endeavour to arrange informal instruction/safety sessions to ensureadequate safety cover and familiarity until a recognised course becomes available.Safety Training For Pupils:A major Health and Safety input is conducted in Year 7 when pupils enter the department and constantreference is made regularly thereafter and on every occasion when a new process / tool / piece ofequipment is introduced. They are made aware of their responsibility for their own welfare and theirgeneral responsibility to others. The issue of Health and Safety is also addressed in the designing ofartefacts which are safe to use and safe to construct. Particularly important is the issue of situationswhich don't always appear to be dangerous, but which often are, and which they must be made aware of.Examples include things which:are unusually heavy;are hot (and don't appear to be);have sharp edges (sheet metal, knives in washing up bowls);stick out from under benches;are very hard and which they can fall against (vices);may ignite suddenly (fat left in unattended frying pan);may overbalance (pots on cooker);can trip them up (trailing cables);they can slip on (water/oil on floor);can cause electric shock (soldering irons/irons burning through cables);stick to the skin (adhesives, hot plastics);can damage eyesight (welding arc flash, filings, sawdust, acid splashes, spray paints);can affect the respiratory system (fumes, gases, vapours, dust);are outside their previous experience and which may be dangerous to the uninitiated;can burn (hot fat, acid).More obvious safety matters will include reference to:Protective Clothing:aprons;safety spectacles and goggles;gloves/oven gloves;masks and respirators;strong shoes.Personal Safety:removal of ties, watches, jewellery, etc.rolling up sleeves, fastening loose clothing and shoelaces;tying hair back or other protection.Doc ID: AP/H&S/01 Originator: ANCA Approved: Gov.Body Issue: 2 Date: 22/09/2010
