##### HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING

#### Training, Awareness and Competence

The school will ensure that staff are competent to perform tasks that may impact on health and safety. Competence is defined in terms of appropriate training and/or experience. Training procedures shall take into account differing levels of responsibility, ability, literacy and risk. Determining the health and safety training needs of the school will be considered in conjunction with staff members. These needs may be identified as part of personal learning and development procedures or through other means such as fulfilling legal obligations (e.g. first aid training), through risk assessment, following accidents or incidents, or following the acquisition of new equipment and machinery.

#### Induction Training

All new members of staff (including volunteers, students and pupils on work experience) will be given a formal workplace induction and will be encouraged to familiarise themselves with the health and safety procedures and arrangements in school. The school has adopted the Model Health and Safety Induction Profile provided by Cumbria County Council. This will be completed by the Health and Safety Coordinator or nominated deputy with each new starter/trainee, during the first week of their employment. It is the responsibility of the Health and Safety Coordinator to ensure that the relevant procedures and documentation have been seen and understood.

#### Health and Safety Training Records

A formal health and safety training plan is maintained as a working document. This will list all health and safety training that has been carried out. It will include health and safety training provided for those with specific health and safety responsibilities, e.g. Head teacher’s and Health and Safety Coordinators, such as IOSH Managing Safely in Schools. The training plan will highlight any statutory refresher training that may be required.

### ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, ILL HEALTH AND ACTS OF VIOLENCE

The Headteacher and Health and Safety Co-ordinator are responsible for ensuring that the procedures for reporting accidents, incidents and work-related ill health are made known to all new employees at induction. The Headteacher or person delegated by them will be responsible for ensuring such events are properly investigated, and that a report is made and returned in the manner outlined by Cumbria County Council within its procedures. Accident statistics are reported to the Governing Body on an annual basis to enable any patterns to be identified and to determine, where necessary, suitable measures to prevent recurrence.
