About Us

The Health and Safety Team offers a professional and quality health and safety consultancy service. They will provide competent and experienced officers within the field of health and safety and with supported accreditation as members of IOSH. As a result they give specialist advice and support and continuous safety expertise to schools. They also work with other specialist teams to provide assistance on health protection, science services and fire safety.

The package of services will assist Head teachers and Governing Bodies to meet their increasing legal responsibilities to manage health, safety, welfare and security risks to staff, pupils and visitors involved in, or affected by school activities.

This website information service will provide health and safety Policies, guidance and generic risk assessments that should be adopted by Governing Bodies. When new information is entered or anything is updated on the system, schools will be alerted so that they can update their own procedures. In effect it is intended to make it easier for schools to meet their legal responsibilities and will also assist them to keep track of current and impending legislation.

Don’t forget the Health and Safety service offered through Halton Borough Council provides a telephone and email hotline, i.e. [email protected] so that advice can be provided as soon as possible and, particularly when it involves more complex issues; offers a return service within 24 hours.
