Health and Safety Manual: Policy and Guidance for Schools

Welcome to Hertfordshire County Council's Education Health and Safety Manual

As part of the centralisation of Health and Safety in HCC, we've reorganised the web pages to help you find information more easily. In particular, all policies, guidance and general information has been amalgamated into a 'Health and Safety Manual', where you will find all information on particular topics in one place rather than across several locations.

Schools are also directed to the County guidance on Connect the please follow the link on the right of this page to take you there.

In future months we will be updating the content further to ensure that these pages become an even more useful 'one stop shop' of the health and safety information you need. We welcome suggestions on what you would like to see on the health and safety pages, if you can't find the information you are looking for, you can always contact the Education Health and Safety team on 01992 556478.

The topics are arranged alphabetically, so all you need to do is select the initial letter of the subject you are looking for, and select the link you require.

For example if you are looking for guidance on personal safety select P and select Personal Safety from the list.
