Spotlight

Following on from the Grenfell tower fire you will be aware that the Government has sought

assurance over fire safety measures in a number of public buildings including schools. As part of

this process those responsible for the maintenance of schools have been asked to complete an

online survey by the Education & Skills Funding Agency.

Are schools being treated the same as high rise residential blocks?

No - there are very different risks associated with a high rise block with residential sleeping risks

and a school environment. The scrutiny in terms of increased external fire loading is rightly for

higher risk (multi storey) buildings and those with residential roles.

The majority of schools have short distances of travel and many exit doors direct to fresh air.

Termly fire drills are routinely carried out to test this response and should be able to evidence

prompt evacuation times and effective response of occupants.

The make-up of external panels is a contributory factor but will not significantly alter the risk to our

occupants in normal use.

Fire risk assessments should be up to date properly implemented. School’s should continue with

their existing fire safety management procedures (weekly call point testing, termly drills etc.) and

ensure any controls identified via their fire risk assessment are being actioned.

Guidance on fire safety including a template for fire risk assessments, emergency evacuation

procedures and routine fire maintenance and test procedures are in Guidance Note 22 Fire Safety

available on the School Improvement Liverpool website:

https://www.schoolimprovementliverpool.co.uk/Health---Safety

The Building Safety Programme is a co-ordinated national response to the fire at Grenfell Tower.

Relevant findings will be communicated to schools. Their website is regularly updated with

information and advice: www.gov.uk/guidance/building-safety-programme#information-note-for-

building-owners

Guidance

Maintaining and checking safer surfaces While it is important to undertake regular checks on play equipment and it is also essential to include the safer surfaces under and surrounding the play equipment.

Moss and algae

This can become established on safe surfaces and in order to prevent this the surface must be treated twice a year with moss-killer and algaecide, it is recommend that this is done before and after winter.

Particular attention should be paid to perimeter areas which are not as well trafficked and areas that are shaded by wall,

buildings or over hung by trees.

When using moss-killer and algaecide it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, oil based products must not be used.

Should moss become established it should be treated immediately, the application being repeated until the moss can be brushed away.

Weeds

These may occasionally appear on the surface usually as a result of windblown seeds.

Small numbers of weeds can be removed by hand without damaging the surface.

Localised areas of self-set weeds can be treated with domestic weed-killers without causing damage to the surface. Oil-based weed-killers should not be used.

Playground Wood and Rubber Chips

These require regular maintenance to ensure they continue to provide a safe environment and an impact absorbing surface.

As part of your inspection schedule you will need to check that there is no evidence of broken glass or foreign objects in the loose fill pit.

Loose fill pits require regular forking over and raking to ensure that an adequate depth is maintained.

Wood chip will eventually begin to decompose and will require periodical topping up which can be done with any approved play wood chip.

Sports pitches – sand and/or rubber filled surfaces

Sports pitches require additional maintenance (over and above the guidelines laid out above) to preserve a suitable surface performance for competitive sports.

Infilled pitches require regular brushing to maintain the even distribution of the sand/rubber and to eliminate compaction of the sand (which may reduce the drainage performance).

Infill should be removed, cleaned, re-distributed and topped up once a year, this can vary depending on usage and good

maintenance.

Seams and joins should be inspected regularly for a secure bond. Any failed joins can be spot repaired with specialist cartridge glue.

Maintenance of decking With autumn and winter approaching, schools with decked surfaces will need to ensure that it is

maintained effectively. One of the main concerns is that it can become slippery but this may

depend on where it is located and how it has been maintained. It is advised therefore, that decking

should be regularly inspected and swept to remove any debris. In some instances it may be

necessary to apply an anti-slip paint. You should refer to the manufacturer’s guidance for further

advice.

Registration for using radioactive sources

The regulations on ionising radiations has changed. Schools using the typical small radioactive

teaching sources were required to register with the HSE by 6 February 2018. School Improvement

Liverpool has registered Liverpool Community schools under one application.

Those schools who have not yet registered should do so as a matter of urgency. For further

guidance on the process see CLEAPSS guidance GL258 or use the Health and Safety Executive

online service to notify, register or get consent for the work you do with ionising radiation:

https://services.hse.gov.uk/bssd/?c=3

If your school needs to amend the application in the future, it is to be done online. The only person

who can log on to make the amendment is the person who made the initial application. Therefore

CLEAPSS strongly recommend that when you receive a message that your registration application

has been successful, you should:

• login

• go to ‘your profile’

• change the email address to an accessible one eg office@yourschool.sch.uk

• access the new email address to click on the link to validate it

• the changed email becomes the new login ID and password

• keep the new id and password securely with an appropriate senior member of staff

What is CLEAPSS? CLEAPSS was founded in 1965 by the, then, Greater London Council in order to promote high quality, effective practical work in science. CLEAPSS has been doing this continuously for nearly 50 years. Very quickly after being founded, other local educational authorities requested access to CLEAPSS services on behalf of their schools. CLEAPSS became a consortium of these local educational authorities and at present the consortium includes all but two of the local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. CLEAPSS is, therefore, at its core a local authority organisation and only local authority members can be represented on its Governing Body. All maintained primary and secondary schools in member authorities are members of CLEAPSS as are the majority of independent schools, a significant number of colleges and many overseas schools.

CLEAPSS is funded by:

subscription from its members (which generates the bulk of the income), income generated by training, income generated by small and large project work, including a science or D&T Department

H&S reviews, H&S reviews of school texts and equipment as well as advising Awarding Bodies on practical examination questions.

In addition CLEAPSS has contributed to many government-funded national initiatives.

Local authorities subscribe on behalf of their schools, and, since the 1990s, independent schools, colleges, and overseas schools have been able to subscribe directly. Academies and Free Schools can also subscribe directly although most choose to do so via a local authority. CLEAPSS is independent of all commercial or non-commercial organisations and, as such, its advice and guidance is completely impartial.

The introduction of the Health and Safety at Work Act in 1974 had a significant impact on the teaching of practical subjects. CLEAPSS quickly engaged with this in order to support schools to maintain their practical work. As well as science, CLEAPSS expanded its remit to include D&T and recently art & design, and now provides model risk assessments (MRAs) for practical activities in these subjects for both primary and secondary schools and colleges. Membership of CLEAPSS enables an employer to discharge its duties under the 1975 H&SW Act and its subsequent Regulations, in respect of these subject areas. In addition to H&S guidance CLEAPSS provides advice on ways to carry out practical activities so that they work, are safe, and are effective at supporting learning. CLEAPSS has facilities at its offices on the campus of Brunel University in Uxbridge to enable it to test equipment and try out new ideas for practical work. As a result CLEAPSS staff have developed a wealth of experience devising and evaluating practical activities and equipment. CLEAPSS is a major training provider delivering over 200 one-day CPD courses for science and D&T teachers and technicians each year. In addition we run a 12 day technician training programme which can contribute towards an NVQ qualification or form part of a Technician Apprenticeship. CLEAPSS advice and guidance, contained in publications such as Hazcards and the Recipe book, is recognised by Ofsted and the HSE as the definitive basis for safe practice for practical work in schools. CLEAPSS is regularly consulted by government departments including the DFE, DEFRA and the Home Office. CLEAPSS publications can be obtained by members through the CLEAPSS website www.cleapss.org.uk

Legal update

Considering risks to the public

A local authority in Scotland has admitted safety breaches after a boy suffered serious chemical burns on a pier. The investigation also found the risk assessment in place did not consider there was a risk to members of the public.

Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar, the local authority, which covers the Western Isles appeared at Stornoway Sheriff Court on 24 July. The court heard how, on 11 July 2017, employees of the local authority had cleaned the slipway and steps of the pier at Valtos Pier in Uig using sodium hypochlorite. Later that day, two children were crabbing and lying on the steps of the pier, when one of the children felt a stinging sensation across his left leg. The child noticed a white substance on his trousers and his skin had developed red and brown patches. The children returned to their holiday home and the child was showered by his mother before he was taken to hospital by his father. The hospital confirmed the child had sustained a chemical burn from the sodium hypochlorite.

An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that due to the Council’s failure to wash away the solution, or cordon off the area, the children were able to access the area. The investigation also found the risk assessment in place did not consider there was a risk to members of the public.

Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar of Sandwick Road, Stornoway, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and was fined £12,000 and ordered to pay a compensation order of £6,000.

Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Kim Munro said: “This incident could so easily have been avoided by simply carrying out correct control measures and safe working practices.

Asbestos: £1m-worth of fines following incident

Three companies have been fined a total of more than £1m after workers were exposed to asbestos while refurbishing a school in Waltham Forest.

Southwark Crown Court heard that on 24 July 2012 a worker removed part of a suspended ceiling in one of the ground floor refurbished rooms at St Mary’s school and identified suspect asbestos containing materials. Asbestos fibres were subsequently found in numerous areas in the school.

The court heard the London Borough of Waltham Forest had a contract with NPS London Limited to manage development and refurbishment of its estate.

At the time of the incident the principal contractor for the work was Mansell Construction Services (aka Balfour Beatty) and the subcontractor was Squibb Group Limited.

A Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation found that although an asbestos survey was completed, there were multiple caveats and disclaimers which were not appropriately checked.

Balfour Beatty Regional Construction Limited (previously Mansell Construction Services Limited) of Canary Wharf, London was fined £500,000 and ordered to pay costs of £32,364.84 after pleading guilty to breaching Section 2(1) and 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

NPS London Limited, of Business Park Norwich, Norfolk was fined £370,000 and ordered to pay £32,364.84 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

Squibb Group Limited, of Stanford Le Hope, Essex was fined £400,000 and ordered to pay costs of £175,000 after being found guilty after a trial of a breach of Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

Speaking after the hearing HSE inspector Sarah Robinson said: “The principal contractor and contractors on site did not review the survey report in detail, and did not take into consideration the multitude of caveats.

“Therefore the work undertaken did not adopt the high standards of control expected for working where there was the potential to expose workers to asbestos.”

If you are not sure about the fabric of your building ensure that you get a competent person to carry out an asbestos risk assessment. If you believe that one has been carried out in the past ensure that you have a copy of the risk assessment, that you understand the overall contents and that it is up to date.

In the know

You will have already have been requested to log on to the Asbestos Management Assurance

Process (AMAP) portal. Information required includes the age of building, if any asbestos is

present, who the responsible person for the building is, and if there is an asbestos management

plan in place, etc. This follows an exercise completed by the Education Funding Agency in

2016/17 where they issued a survey to all schools in England in order to obtain data on how they

manage asbestos in their building. Overall there was a 25% response rate to this survey.

Liverpool City Council is currently investigating ways in whch schools can be further supported in

the management of asbestos. If you experience any difficulties in achieving compliance with the

Regulations, please contact healthandsafetyunit@liverpool.gov.uk or see Guidance Note 02

Managing Asbestos.

As part of their 2018/19 work plan the HSE are undertaking proactive inspections of schools to

assess the management of asbestos in buildings. The purpose of this inspection programme is to

test the effectiveness of the management arrangements and controls across a range of school

types and governance models within Great Britain. Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) were

used extensively in school buildings. This includes a significant number of system built classrooms

which due to their construction method contain significant quantities of ACMs.

The 50 planned interventions, involving up to a day on site, will provide the HSE with a clearer

picture of the level of compliance with the duty to manage asbestos in schools. They build upon

Department for Education (DfE) guidance specifically targeted at school dutyholders. They also

follow the DfE assurance process (above) to provide confidence that state funded schools in

England have developed procedures to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

(CAR).

10 ways to tackle stress and feel better

If you're stressed, whether by your job or by something more personal, the first step to feeling better is to

identify the cause.

The most unhelpful thing you can do is turn to something unhealthy to help you cope, such as smoking or

drinking.

"In life, there's always a solution to a problem," says Professor Cary Cooper, an occupational health expert

at the University of Lancaster. "Not taking control of the situation and doing nothing will only make your

problems worse."

He says the keys to good stress management are building emotional strength, being in control of your

situation, having a good social network and adopting a positive outlook.

These are Professor Cooper's top 10 stress-busting suggestions:

Be active

Exercise won't make your stress disappear, but it will reduce some of the emotional intensity that you're

feeling, clearing your thoughts and letting you to deal with your problems more calmly.

For more advice, read how being active helps mental wellbeing.

Get started with exercise. See details on the Active 10 app below.

Take control

There's a solution to any problem. "If you remain passive, thinking, 'I can't do anything about my problem',

your stress will get worse," says Professor Cooper. "That feeling of loss of control is one of the main causes

of stress and lack of wellbeing."

The act of taking control is in itself empowering, and it's a crucial part of finding a solution that satisfies you

and not someone else.

Connect with people

A good support network of colleagues, friends and family can ease your work troubles and help you see

things in a different way.

"If you don't connect with people, you won't have support to turn to when you need help," says Professor

Cooper.

The activities we do with friends help us relax. We often have a good laugh with them, which is an excellent

stress reliever.

"Talking things through with a friend will also help you find solutions to your problems," says Professor

Cooper.

Have some 'me time'

Here in the UK, we work the longest hours in Europe, meaning we often don't spend enough time doing

things we really enjoy.

"We all need to take some time for socialising, relaxation or exercise," says Professor Cooper.

He recommends setting aside a couple of nights a week for some quality "me time" away from work. "By

earmarking those two days, it means you won't be tempted to work overtime," he says.

Challenge yourself

Setting yourself goals and challenges, whether at work or outside, such as learning a new language or a

new sport, helps to build confidence. This will help you deal with stress.

"By continuing to learn, you become more emotionally resilient as a person," says Professor Cooper. "It

arms you with knowledge and makes you want to do things rather than be passive, such as watching TV all

the time."

Avoid unhealthy habits

Don't rely on alcohol, smoking and caffeine as your ways of coping. "Men more than women are likely to do

this. We call this avoidance behaviour," says Professor Cooper. "Women are better at seeking support from

their social circle."

Over the long term, these crutches won't solve your problems. They'll just create new ones. "It's like putting

your head in the sand," says Professor Cooper. "It might provide temporary relief, but it won't make the

problems disappear. You need to tackle the cause of your stress."

Help other people

Professor Cooper says evidence shows that people who help others, through activities such as

volunteering or community work, become more resilient.

"Helping people who are often in situations worse than yours will help you put your problems into

perspective," says Professor Cooper. "The more you give, the more resilient and happy you feel."

If you don't have time to volunteer, try to do someone a favour every day. It can be something as small as

helping someone to cross the road or going on a coffee run for colleagues.

Work smarter, not harder

Working smarter means prioritising your work, concentrating on the tasks that will make a real difference.

"Leave the least important tasks to last," says Cooper. "Accept that your in-tray will always be full. Don't

expect it to be empty at the end of the day."

• Try to be positive

Look for the positives in life, and things for which you're grateful. "People don't always appreciate what they

have," says Professor Cooper. "Try to be glass half full instead of glass half empty," he says.

Try writing down three things that went well, or for which you're grateful, at the end of every day.

Accept the things you can't change

Changing a difficult situation isn't always possible. Try to concentrate on the things you do have control

over.

"If your company is going under and is making redundancies, for example, there's nothing you can do

about it," says Professor Cooper.

"In a situation like that, you need to focus on the things that you can control, such as looking for a new job."

Focus on brisk walking, not just 10,000 steps, say health experts

Public Health England and the Royal College of GPs are encouraging adults to focus on walking briskly

rather than just counting steps to improve their health.

With an estimated 3 million middle-aged adults physically inactive across the country, Public Health

England (PHE) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) are encouraging adults to

incorporate brisk walking into their days as a way to improve their general health and wellbeing.

As part of the push to get adults doing more moderate intensity physical activity each day, health experts

are encouraging people to increase the intensity of their walking, rather than just focus on the distance or

number of steps.

Moderate intensity physical activity means getting the heart rate up and breathing faster. Just 10 minutes of

brisk walking a day is an easy way for adults to introduce more moderate intensity physical activity into their

day and reduce their risk of early death by up to 15%.

To help adults do this, PHE’s ‘Active 10’ app has been created and it is the only app of its kind that

combines intensity and time, rather than just distance.

Taking a 10 minute brisk walk each day can help build up towards the UK Chief Medical Officers’ (CMO)

recommendation of at least 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. This has been

linked to health benefits including a lowered risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some

cancers.

Professor Paul Cosford, Medical Director at PHE, said:

Managing all the pressures of everyday life can mean that exercise takes a back seat, but building a brisk

walk into your daily routine is a simple way to get more active.

The Active 10 app gives you a clear picture of the intensity of your walk. Taking a brisk 10 minute walk

each day will get your heart pumping, improve your mood and lower the risk of serious health issues like

type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.

‘Active 10’ is supported by the RCGP and was developed by PHE in collaboration with The University of

Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine.

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessments

DSE risk assessment is, in the main, a self-assessment process. Managers must ensure all applicable staff

have access to this guidance and complete an individual assessment form; this should be carried out:

• On joining the team

• Following an office re-organisation/move

• Periodically – every 2 years

The DSE risk-assessment form is included within Guidance Note 07 Display Screen Equipment and

Workstation Ergonomics available on the School Improvement Liverpool website. The assessment process

should identify the specific needs of the user to ensure the suitability of the workstation, covering the key

elements:

• display screen equipment

• workstation layout

• chair

• software

• eye and eyesight tests for users on request

The level of detail required for the assessment should be proportionate to the problems encountered, as

should control measures implemented to ensure safe working.

Managers should also be aware that under the Equality Act 2010, there is a duty to make reasonable

adjustments for all employees with disabilities.

Assessment Referral Process

The DSE risk-assessment may indicate the user is experiencing problems the manager is unable to solve.

In such cases, managers can make a referral to the Health and Safety Unit (HSU).

Following the request a HSU Advisor will meet with the individual and manager to undertake and

workstation assessment. It may be possible to resolve matters with existing equipment through some

practical advice on posture or workstation layout. Where this cannot be achieved more suitable equipment

or a further assessment will be recommended.

Following the supply of any additional or replacement equipment, for example, a new chair, the HSU

Advisor will re-visit, to set up.

Managers should be aware that they will be responsible for purchasing additional or replacement

equipment recommended.

The HSU Advisor will make further referrals, if further specialist knowledge is required.This will either be to

an external ergonomic assessor or to Access to Work, if they meet the criteria.

Infection control

Autumn and winter can often see a rise in reports in relation to infections / viruses in schools such as the winter vomiting bug. The updated Public Health England guidance in relation to infection control in schools is available via this link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-protection-in-schools-and-other-childcare-facilities

Th ‘Health protection in schools and other childcare facilities’ guidance includes recommended time periods a pupil should be absent from school for certain infectious conditions such as chicken pox, measles etc. Where an identified outbreak of a virus has occurred at a school an infection control clean is required to be undertaken, details can be found in chapter 6 – Cleaning the Environment.
