Keeping Pupils Healthy and Safe
Electrical Safety in your School
PAT Test UK Ltd
At PAT TEST UK we cut
through the myths and jargon surrounding legislation, which can seem overwhelming. Specialists like PAT TEST UK can benefit your school with responsibility and cost effectiveness working hand in hand.
The Electricity at Work Regulations (1989) and Safety at Work Act govern the requirements by employers which are: 1. To ensure safe system of work
2. An Inspection, testing and maintenance regime for all portable appliances.
Regular PAT testing may also be a requirement in the ‘small print’ of your insurance policy.

Head teachers are “The Responsible Person”
Fire Risk Management Solutions Ltd
In order to satisfy the latest fire safety requirements you must have a Fire Safety Risk Assessment carried out and act on the findings. This Assessment must cover
the safety of your staff and anyone who may come on to your premises; the protection of your property; your resources and job security of your staff; the environmental impact of a fire, and the safety of all emergency personnel who would attend that fire. Having a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is a legal requirement, and someone within your organisation will be responsible for the quality and validity of that assessment.
This ‘Responsible Person’ should be aware that this responsibility will also carry full civil liability under certain circumstances. The cost of a fire is
expensive - lives and money, so is the cost of failing to comply with legislation. Call FRMS now for your complete Fire Risk Management service.

Philip VandenBerg, the company’s director says: “It is important that schools are aware of their H&S responsibilities. People only seem to react once they have been caught out for non-compliance with the laws and have had to endure hefty fines as a result. If the representatives of the schools are proactive about H&S compliance they can
save not only money but also enjoy a reputation of a safe environment for children.” Bravanark can tailor-make a health and safety training programme that suits your staff and the way you work. We can slot into an existing programme or present stand- alone sessions. For more information visit
