Health & Safety

IMPORTANT NOTICE

CHAIRS “are to sit on, not stand on”.

It has come to our attention that several staff are using chairs to stand on when changing display boards around the college.
This is against H&S practices and can be potentially dangerous.
Please use a footstool or step ladder, there are various footstools and stepladders around the college. However, if you are unable to find one, then please contact the caretakers.

FIRE DOORS

A reminder, that under the fire regulations it is illegal to block fire escape routes and wedge fire doors open.
Please can you ensure that all fire doors, in your areas, are not wedged open or fire routes blocked.
