It is vital that health and safety is monitored and maintained we do this by ensuring there are signs clearly placed around the building for example; Fire exit signs and wet floor signs. Also that there are sufficient fire extinguishers placed around the building and that they are regularly checked. Furthermore it is beneficial that we have regular fire drills to ensure that everyone is aware of what to do in such an emergency. Also if any object is found to be damaged then it is important that a sticker is placed on object or if able to be removed then to do so and make sure that the head teacher is aware. The caretaker would then fix certain things and checked by the head teacher before being used.
