Introduction including overview of area inspected and activities taking place

This report follows a workplace inspection of the education development centre

on the 07th May 2014 and identifies good and poor practices. The centre has a
large education development building, one primary school, one short stay pupil
referral unit and a day nursery. The property is owned and maintained by the
local council. That includes managers, head master, principal, tutors, cleaners &
drivers etc.. There is an access road from the main road, which runs around the
school, between buildings and then through to the rear car parks. The activities
which are ongoing at the centre are Classes, seminars, Games, examinations &
extracurricular activities. The equipments which are used in the centre are
computer, typewriter, Xerox machine & cleaning machine.
The education development centre is occupied by 370 workers whose roles
revolve around education attainment, improvement and inclusion. Many workers
are outreach workers and visit schools, children centers, and homes. As a
result, access and egress to the building is heavily used. Potential hazards
include slips, trips, and falls, musculoskeletal injury and access and egress
arrangements, electrical and fire.

Executive Summary
It was pleasing to observe a high standard of housekeeping. There was an appropriate
amount of lighting inside and outside the buildings. The welfare facilities were of good
standard, i.e. clean and plenty of toilets and washrooms for the amount of workers.
However, during the inspection it was identified that some areas posed a risk of serious
injury or ill health and were in need of improvement. Areas of concern were vehicle
movement through the school site and risks of electric shock, due to uncontrolled access
to the communications mast and several items of portable electrical equipment being out
of date with their portable appliance testing (PAT) test and its consequences are
electrocution ,burns etc.. so the control measures are a) Isolate all electrical items that
have out of date PAT test, b) Fit temporary electrical hazard sign, maintain a PAT register,
c) provide a competent person for PAT test, d) continues monitoring of electrical
equipments.

Also, there was an increased risk of fire and manual handling injury due to many
document files stored under workers desks, next to electrical cables and sockets.
The fire hazards results burns, death, property damage so the control measures
include regular inspection of electrical equipments, and their components, gave
adequate training programs. Working at height relater hazards cause fall its
consequence is death, bone fracture so control this provide adequate material,
competent person for working.
Most of the problems that were observed were related to a lack of maintenance
and a general lack of understanding of the need for good health and safety
practice. Recommendations include refresher training and maintenance of signs
and electrical equipment, all of relatively low cost, particularly when related to
the risks observed. Two areas observed that were under good control were the
testing and recording for legionella and asbestos.

Main findings of the inspection

1 Observation 1 Road traffic accidents speed limit, hazards and parking

The access road that runs through the school site is heavily used, as many
workers do outreach work. In addition, visitors to the site, parents and children
use the road to come into school and the day nursery. It was noted that many of
the painted road sins were worn away, so users would not be aware of speed
restrictions. This presented a significant risk of vehicles speeding and causing
road traffic accidents. Also, there were many sharp bends in the road, which
would increase the potential risk from speeding. The additional problem of
vehicles being parked in undesignated areas prevented drivers having proper
vision of the road and obstructed footpaths. In view of the

Vulnerability of the many pedestrians in the area, this could easily result in a
major injury or fatality. Any claim for damages would be very high and this type
of accident could have very high consequences to the schools reputation.
Speeding vehicles and vehicles inappropriately parked make access and egress
unsafe, not only for school workers, but other car users and pedestrians. These
risks may be seen to contravene the ILO Occupational Safety and Health
Convention C155, Article 16 (1), which requires employers to provide workplaces
that are safe.
School workers, parents, children and visitors should be alerted immediately of
the speed limit, sharp bend hazard and parking problem, for example by email
and letters handed out. This will incur very little cost, mainly time and paper.
Temporary signs should be made and located on the route into the school and
where parked vehicles cause an obstruction. This can be done by downloading
signs from the internet, printing and laminating them using school facilities,
costs for this should be limited to 30. Maintenance work should be carried out
during the next four weeks to repaint speed limit signs and erect a sing warning
of the sharp bends, at a cost of 500 approximately. Signs and bollards should be
erected to prevent the unauthorised parking; this is likely to cost approximately
1,000. All limit signs and restriction parking should be monitored yearly during
the site inspection. The sum of money necessary to make improvements is small
relative to the risk of serious injury that may be caused by the hazards.
2 Observation 5 Electric shock access to communications mast
It was observed that the gates restricting access to the communications mast
were not secured by a padlock and there were no signs warning of the electrical
hazard within the restricted area. This meant that anyone could enter the
restricted area and be at risk of electric shock. The school has a large number of
children on site who may be attracted by the electrical equipment and could
have entered the area without difficulty. The absence of warning signs indicating
an electrical hazard could someone to believe they were entering a safe area.
Failing to restrict access to the electrical equipment may be considered a breach
of the ILO Occupational Safety and Health Convention c155, Article 16(1), which
requires workplaces machinery, equipment and processes to be safe and without
risk to health. Though the risk of immediate danger from electricity due to
someone entering the restricted area is not high it is significantly increased by
the failure to prevent entry.
With the co-operation of maintenance worker for the site a padlock was added to
the fates to secure them. The padlock was available for their purpose, but had
not been fitted to the gate following a visit from a maintenance contractor,
therefore there was no new cost related to this control measure. Temporary
electrical hazard warning signs should be fitted until permanent signs can be
obtained. The cost of these temporary and permanent signs is likely to be about
250. In the medium term, the supervisor of school maintenance work should
ensure the padlock is only removed to allow authorised entry and refitted
immediately on completion of this work. The security of access to the
communication mast should be monitored as part of the site security
arrangements, this may require a small amendment to the contract of the
security company that does this work, but it is expected that is could be added
with little or no cost.

3 Observation 13 and 15 manual injury and fire document files stored under
desks
It was identified that many of the workers stored document files under their
desks, occupying a large amount of space. These files were situated next to
trailing electrical cables, which were plugged into extension leads. The three
elements of the fire triangle were present oxygen, fuel (paper files) and heat
(electrical cables and sockets). This combination presented a risk of fire
occurring and although the fire would start in the office area there is a risk that it
could spread and affect the whole centre. This would be a serious risk to all
workers and children. No fire risk assessment had been carried out and fire risk
controls were inadequate, contravening the ILO Guidelines on Occupational
Safety and Health Management Systems (ILO OSH) 2001, which require risk
assessment and the application of control measures.
These poor storage arrangements not only increase the chances of a fire starting
and spreading rapidly, but also pose a risk of back injury when office workers
have to bend and assume a very poor posture when retrieving the files. This poor
manual handling arrangement could quickly lead to serious injury of an office
worker and long term absence from work. The office workers are all experienced
and specialize in their education field, therefore finding temporary replacement
workers would not be easy and this would be very damaging to the educational
service provided. The storage arrangements do not comply with the ILO
Occupational Safety and Health Convention C155, Article 16 (1) and (2), in that
manual handling risks should be avoided where reasonably practicable and
where risk remain they are minimized by appropriate protection measures.
Workers should be reminded of the fire and manual handling risk as soon as
possible; those workers not immediately available should be emailed. The files
should be promptly removed into temporary storage, at a cost of workers time
and storage boxes, which are currently available as stock was purchased for a
recent educational project. Suitable shelving should be erected at the cost of
500 approximately. It is recommended that all office workers have fire
awareness and manual handling refresher training , incurring internal cost of
worker and health and safety advisor time. The training should be short and can
be done at their monthly meeting. It is recommended that awareness training is
done as part of the annual departmental meeting; this will ensure costs are
limited.
4. Observation 17 Risk of electric shock and fire out of date portable electrical
equipment testing
Several items of electrical equipment around the site were not displaying up to
date portable appliance testing (PAT) sticker. The absence of the sticker could
mean that the equipment is defective. The PAT sticker confirms that electrical
equipment has been suitably tested as part of the maintenance programme. The
use of equipment that has not been maintained breaches ILO Occupational
Safety and Health Convention C155, Article 16 (1) requirements that equipment
should be safe, since equipment that is not maintained can lead to the risk of fire
or workers experiencing an electric shock, which may prove fatal. An injury or
fatality would not only be a cost to the centre, but also to the worker and their
family. Employers have a legal duty under EWR to ensure all portable electrical
equipment is maintained. This should be clearly marked on the equipment and
recorded.
Immediate action is required to identify and isolate all items that are out of date,
this would be at a small cost taking a couple of hours of time and labels to mark
them out of use. Following this, a
competent person (trained electrician) should carry our PAT test on this
equipment, typically at a cost of 2.00 per item. In the future, all equipment

should be tested regularly and care should be given to ensure equipment stored
in cupboards is included in all tests.

Conclusions

Routine maintenance is identified as an area where attention is needed. The poor

maintenance of road speed limit signs and lack of portable appliance testing on
electrical items were particular areas requiring immediate management
attention. Under the ILO Occupational Safety and Health Convention C155,
Article 16 (1), employers have a responsibility to ensure equipment is safe,
including the carrying out of maintenance to protect workers and others who
may be in the workplace or come into contact with their equipment.
Storing document files under desks next to electrical cables and sockets is a fire
hazard. The poor storage of files also creates a risk of manual handling injuries
when workers have to retrieve the files. This suggests a lack of appreciation of
the need for good health and safety practice. Fire and manual handling risk
assessment of the storage of files in the education workers office need to be
carried out immediately in order to ensure the safety of workers. Education
workers should have refresher training to remind them of the importance of fire
and manual handling issues. This may indicate a wider problem, this should be
evaluated as other workers may also need similar training.
All the areas identified in the findings of this report could result in injury or a
fatality, which would cause suffering to the victims and their families. Employers
have a legal and moral duty of care to take action and reduce the risk identified.
The inspection identified a number of good practices where strong management
of hazards was in place, including two important health hazards, legionella and
asbestos. The good practices identified are commended and should be
continued.

Health and safety needs to be of a high priority as failure to manage risk can
lead to prosecution or compensation claims, which can only have an adverse
effect on the centres reputation and financial position as well as the health and
safety of the people involved.
I suggest that my recommendations are implemented at the earliest opportunity
according to the priority allocated to them in the next section of this report. By
doing this, the centre will openly demonstrate to all workers that their health and
safety is being taken seriously at all levels of management. Also, it will show
that, in the long term, a positive health and safety culture is being developed,
which will reduce the sizeable cost attributed to accidents and enhance the
reputation of the organisation in a very competitive market place
