Episode 4 - Managing School Site Road Safety

Join us for Episode 4 of The Safer Schools Podcast where we discuss managing school site road safety, including:

• The importance of getting it right
• How to undertake a site road safety risk assessment
• Common hazards such as lack of vehicle and pedestrian segregation, reversing vehicles, vehicles colliding with premises/plant, lack of road marking/signage, speeding vehicles, poor lighting/visibility, roads/paths in poor condition, and lack of communication/training etc.
• Determining control measures using the hierarchy of control, together with some examples; and
• Guidance documents available that can assist you with all of the above!

So, if you’re a Bursar, Estates Manager, Health & Safety Manager, School Business Manager, or indeed ANYONE responsible for overseeing H&S in a school, then this is the episode for you!
