All workers in the school are responsible for their own health and safety, as well as that of others around them. We encourage engagement and participation in our health and safety practices.
At Gorge Road School, we have a health and safety committee that informs staff of its roles and responsibilities, monitors and reviews the school's health and safety compliance, and:
· responds to staff health and safety concerns
· conducts an internal audit each year
· reviews safe practices in using school buildings, plant, operation, EOTC, and emergency procedures, and reports on this to the board of trustees once each term.
The health and safety committee ensures that all workers have the opportunity to engage in improving work health and safety. This is done by discussing health and safety regularly at team meetings and encouraging feedback between staff and board members on health and safety issues.
