Safety in Schools

Protecting Pupils

Health and safety in schools is achieved through audits, documentation, and training.

Protecting pupils through compliant places and spaces

We help school health and safety management teams fulfil their legal obligations and protect their pupils through health and safety documentation and training.

We scrutinise the safety of the health and safety management system within schools so that pupils can be as safe as possible when on school premises.

We carry out health and safety checks on organisations to ensure the safety of students when they attend student work placements outside of the school premises.

“Optimum have taken away the stress and worry of Health and Safety which allows me to focus on growing my business”

Ellis Purvis, Seven Districts

“I would therefore urge all companies out there to look at their own health & safety partner and question whether they were really there to help when you needed them the most! Optimum Safety most certainly were.”

Richard Giles, TJS Online

“From start to finish we received a very professional service. The report we received was clear and easy to follow. Excellent attention to detail. The team took the time to talk our team through the report and explained everything. I would fully recommend Optimum Safety.”

Nick Pettit, The Drill

“I use Optimum for my company’s Health and Safety and training. Chris is a trustworthy person who knows the industry inside and out. I trust him 100%.”

Michael Jorden, JRH Water Management

“Optimum Safety guide me through everything I need to keep my school compliant and I would not use anyone else to do this as I trust them 100%.”

Graham Hand, The Hayfield School

“I found the training very good and all the lads were really engaged. I think it made a big difference having someone that had done a similar job in the past and had those experiences to train us, it really made the difference.”

John Kettell, Kettell Windows

“Optimum’s support right from initial engagement and with Chris Owen, through Mick Purvis’ extensive help thereafter as we worked through the activity, was always of a high, professional standard. It truly felt as though Mick was one of our team. Personable, approachable, and diligent whilst clearly knowing his stuff! Optimum left us in a much better place. We have no hesitation to recommend their services to others nor to work with them again in the future as need arises.”

David Holt, CEO BGB Engineering

“Optimum Safety have been excellent. They are professional and friendly and are extremely efficient in how they work. It is a great comfort to know with their expertise and support that our guests and staff are safe and protected in the hotel. Their knowledge coupled with the support tools such as the e-learning, are invaluable to us.”

Tina Pearson , The Petwood Hotel

“We use Optimum and they provide a professional, knowledgeable and personal service, which make them great to work with. 100% would recommend.”

Your questions answered.

What health and safety documentation does my business need?2021-12-13T09:36:03+00:00

The documentation your business requires varies depending on the inherent risks presented to your business, and the activities it carries out. However, it is good practice to get the following documents in place as soon as possible. These documents are a health and safety policy, risk assessment, fire risk assessment, accident records book and health and safety law poster.

Does health and safety law only apply to larger businesses?2021-12-13T09:40:32+00:00

Health and safety laws apply to each and every business. However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) understands that it would not be proportionate for a two-person photography business to have the same health and safety obligations as a national construction company. So, even as a new business, you must pay attention to your health and safety obligations.

What are my health and safety obligations as an employer?2021-12-13T09:44:02+00:00

UK health and safety legislation sets a variety of obligations for employers. These relate to the identification and mitigation of workplace risks, giving employees adequate training and protective equipment, and providing adequate first aid and incident reporting mechanisms.

How often do we need to carry out a new risk assessment?2021-12-10T16:33:45+00:00

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that your organisation needs to regularly review your health and safety risk assessment to ensure that the risks your employees face have not changed. However, there is no legal time frame for reviewing your risk assessment, and HSE strongly recommend that risk assessments are carried out on an annual basis.
