Is Your School Safe?

5th March 2007

• Is there any asbestos in the building?

• Are the management aware of the new Fire Regulations?

• Was your school warm enough this winter?

If you are concerned about these or any other Health & Safety matters, your school H&S Representative has the right to investigate, carry out inspections and make representations on your behalf.
If your school has not got an H&S representative, why not volunteer for this important role? All representatives are entitled to attend a five-day training course at Stoke Rochford and will receive official accreditation.

Any existing reps who would like an official accreditation card should contact andy@leicesternut.org.uk
