Introduction including overview of area inspected and activities taking place

This report follows my inspection of the Roxby Training Centre facilities and was done to meet the
requirements of the Nebosh General Certificate (NGC3) practical application. The aim of this
inspection is to highlight the good practices as well as to identify any breaches of Health and Safety
legislation and hazards, and to bring any recommendations to the attention of the management team.

The areas concerned with the inspection are the training centre building and its immediate
surrounding area, which houses the training yard.

The training building consists of a reception area, a number of small and large classrooms, two sets of
male/female toilets, a canteen area, a store room for personal protective equipment (PPE) and an
office for admin duties. In the yard is one store for the storage of various outdoor work materials,
tools and more PPE.

The premises are occupied by up to six staff and anything up to thirty students at any one time. The
staffs working hours are 8am until 6pm, with the students occupying the building 9am until 3.30pm.
The building is used for messing, completing paper work, theoretical lesson and planning work.
The yard is used for loading and unloading vehicles with work equipment and also use for practical
lessons.

The premises were occupied at the time of the inspection, by three members of staff and twelve
students.

Executive Summary

Roxby Training is trying to fully meet the standards set out by Health and Safety (H&S) regulations
and this is to be commended. At Roxby Training, from the management down has a commitment
towards H&S and has a policy on display stating so.

Upon completion of the inspection I found there were some serious concerns over the fire
precautions, personal protective equipment (PPE), student furniture and electrical equipment. These
areas of concern may lead to breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA), the
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR), the Regulatory Reform (Fire
Safety) Order (RRFSO), the Provision and Use of Workplace Equipment Regulations (PUWER), the
Personal Protective Equipment Regulations (PPE Regs) and Manual Handling Operations
Regulations

Any actions annotated as immediate should be considered urgent and action should be taken without
delay. Some of will incur little or no cost to the organisation and limited resources, but others will need
to be budgeted for as a matter of urgency, the details of these are in this report.

The health and safety of the employees and students who are using the premises may also be at risk
if some of these concerns are not addressed. If the management team fail to address these issues
then it may lead to the attention and possible enforcement action from the HSE and/or the local
authority (Middlesbrough County Council).
Breaches of statutory duty or failure to comply with improvement or prohibition notices may
result in court action being taken which may lead to criminal prosecution and fines of up to
20 000 in a magistrates court and the possibility of up to 6 months imprisonment.

A detailed description of the findings is listed below with reference to specific observations given in
brackets.

Main findings of the inspection

Fire precautions

The emergency fire exit door (2) is a major concern, if a fire were to break out the students could not
exit by these means. The door should be unlocked and unobstructed (6) at all times when the building
is in use. The cleaner should be told to store his equipment in a more suitable place until a permanent
place can be found.

The (RRFSO) states that fire exits must remain free from obstructions at all times (22). The PPE
blocking the fire exit is not only creating a tripping hazard but it is putting the health and safety of the
employees at risk of becoming trapped in the building if a fire were to start.

New labels should be purchased for the extinguishers and new extinguishers purchased (5 + 21) and
the old ones should be re-pressurised and protected (4).

The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (RRFSO) requires that fire fighting arrangements must be
provided in the workplace (27). Although there are fire extinguishers located throughout the building
there is an absence of any extinguisher in the office. Therefore there is an urgent requirement to
have extinguishers installed here as employees would be in extreme danger if a fire were to start in
the office.

Fire drills and training should be carried out immediately for all staff and students and these should be
factored into their daily programme and then regular tests and training should be carried out (3).

Management of Health and Safety

Many problems stem from a poor management system and some could be rectified by members of
staff specific tasks and at a very low cost to the organisation. (8 / 17 + 18).

Tutors can monitor housekeeping issues such as tangled cables, the students behaviour in the
classroom more closely and this would save wear and tear on the furniture. They could also monitor
the emergency exits and enforce a disciplinary procedure for miss-use and the overflowing waste
paper bins are all issues that will present a very poor image to visitors but are low cost and not time
consuming problems to resolve.

The head cleaner can monitor the cleanliness of the WCs and ensure that they are always well
stocked and a rota can be sorted amongst the tutors and they can do a close down procedure at the
end of the day and sign to say that it is done.

None of these would incur an additional cost the organisation. However, these issues may also be in
breach of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

PPE. Issues

The Personal Protective Equipment is vital to protect the students and for them to be forgetting theirs
and borrowing from other students is unacceptable (19). The students are to be given extra training in
the need for PPE and a disciplinary process should be brought in to enforce this training.

The Personal Protective Equipment regulations state that all PPE must be suitably stored and
maintained (20+ 22). The PPE blocking the fire exit must be removed and all the old PPE in the store
room should be disposed of and replaces as it is no longer fit for purpose. The centre itself should
ensure that it has enough new spare equipment to replace any unserviceable equipment (23).

PUWER Issues

It is unacceptable to have the students using broken tables and chairs (10 +11) but at the same time
they should be disciplined for any miss-use. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
state that employers must ensure that all work equipment is suitable, maintained and inspected.
These items pose a risk to health. These items should be fixed or replaced with more conventional
teaching tables and chairs at the cost of 50 per table and chair.

An industrial vacuum could be purchased to clean the corridor (8) this could suppress the amount of
dust moved about when cleaning.

Manual Handling Issues

There are issues concerning heavy materials being stored at ground level (13). This is in breach of
the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and presents a high risk of an injury to employees
lifting or moving these materials. These materials should be stored correctly and at waist level to
prevent injuries from bending and lifting. This will prevent high costs through workplace incidents and
loss of productivity.

First Aid Issues

A first aider should be available at all times; therefore having just one first aider is not enough. At least
one other member of staff should attend a first aid course (26). The names of the first aiders should
be posted on a notice board. A first aid box should be purchased (24); that is suitably adequate for the
numbers that use the centre. It could be kept in the staff office.

Electricity Issues

There are some good practices dealing with the use of electricity, such as the tutors equipment being
PAT tested and their computers being subjected to DSE assessments, but there are still some
shortfalls. A PAT test register should be opened and the centres equipment should be checked
immediately and regularly thereafter (16).

There are several cables running on floors in some classrooms (9), these form trip hazards and
potential fire risks. These cables could be covered with a cable cover and this in the short term would
eliminate the risk although a better solution would be to run the cable along the walls. In one room a
coiled extension cable (12) that was clearly not needed was found and because it was coiled it was
hot to touch, this is an obvious fire hazard, and this could be replaced with a shorted cable if needed
and a cable cover.

Some tutors are being lazy and not switching their IT equipment off at the end of the day (15), this is a
potential fire hazard. It should be made mandatory for the tutors to switch off all electrical items at the
end of the day.

Conclusions

There are some good practices here and it is obvious that management want to improve H&S
standards. However, there are still some major concerns and these should be corrected soonest. The
improvement of H&S standards and therefore fewer accidents and near misses raises the moral of
both the tutors and the students and makes it a better place to teach and learn. Parents expect the
centre to look after their children, this is not achieved by having the students using broken chairs and
desks and worn out PPE, and these should be rectified immediately.

The building and yard are all of old design and is situated within a dock environment, however there
are refurbishments being planned for later in the year. Many of the hazards found were as a result of
a lapse in general Health and Safety management and many of the observations could be rectified by
simple maintenance and tidying up of the building and yard.

As stated previously, some of these major breaches contravene H&S legislation. The management
have a duty of care to everyone and by contravening this legislation leave themselves open to fines,
imprisonment and /or civil action. Any of these far outweigh the cost of correcting the points in the
report.

The cost of rectifying the immediate points would be numbered in the thousands, there would be an
ongoing annual cost that would need to be factored into the centres budget, which may or may not be
required (broken chairs etc). If however, these costs are neglected then the cost to the centre may be
much more. As stated there could be fines to pay and increases in insurance premiums if something
were to happen. Also, if a student were to be hurt, this may encourage parents to take their child away
reducing your revenue.

The employees have all had a very good level of workplace specific Health and Safety training with
certificates on display on the notice board. However this training counts for little if it is not put into
practice on a daily basis. It appears there have also been many bad habits picked up over the years
such as poor general housekeeping. Employers and employees should take pride in a safe workplace
and this will also reduce the risk of accidents, ill health to employees and in the long run save money
from unnecessary claims, losses of production and a poor corporate image.

If the centre were to act on the recommendations the insurance should be kept to a manageable level
and the good publicity for the centre when students complete their studies will be immeasurable.
