As the new school year approaches, the safety and well-being of students and staff should be at the forefront of every school’s priorities. At Dynamic Safety Solutions, we understand the unique challenges schools face in maintaining a secure and compliant environment.
Need help with Health & Safety compliance?
When running an education setting, you have a duty of care to keep your pupils, staff, and any other visitors to your premises safe, at all times. And, there are many Health & Safety risks you might encounter inside a school or university building, such as:
- Slips, trips and falls.
- Hazardous chemicals in science labs.
- Young pupils with limited Health & Safety awareness.
But with your school management team ensuring pupils receive the best education possible, Health & Safety matters can fail to make the grade. As a result, injuries to staff, students, and visitors could increase – which may result in legal, financial and reputational damage to your business.
That’s why you must comply with the following Health and Safety responsibilities as set out in the following Legislation:
- The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
- The Health & Safety (First Aid ) Regulations 1981.
- Food Safety Act 1990.
- The Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations.
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
- The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
- Guidance from the Health & Safety Executive.
To ensure the safety of both your pupils and staff, your Health & Safety management should achieve top marks. But, such management takes time – which can be hard to come by when running a school or college.
By working with Dynamic Safety Solutions we can ensure you stay compliant with Health & Safety laws and meet your legal obligations. So you can prevent injuries to staff or pupils, and also avoid future legal proceedings.

Finding time to carry out your Health & Safety duties can be difficult. For example, you might struggle to perform workplace risk assessments if you’ve never done one before.
Not only is it a legal requirement, but it plays a key role in assessing Health & Safety risks within your school. The results of these assessments will help establish the required control measures you can implement. For example, you might need to provide extra personal protective equipment (PPE) in science labs.
But if you’ve never conducted a risk assessment before, you may not know where to start – or what hazards to look out for.
That’s why when you outsource your Health & Safety to Dynamic Safety Solutions, we conduct your risk assessment for you. We’ll perform your risk assessment in person, on-site, at a time that suits
you – before producing a unique action plan to follow. The plan will detail what control measures you need to implement to keep everyone in your education business safe. And that isn’t all, we’ll even help you with your fire safety by carrying out a fire risk assessment too.
