In my work place have clear policies and procedures about all aspects of health and safety. They are concerning regularly. All rooms and equipment used by children and young people should have regular checks to ensure that everything is working well and is safe and also we check the toys and equipment for activities are safe and clean. If there any equipment or buildings be at risk of damage we could remove them. Some of these checks are required by low. For example; Electrical equipment must be checked by a qualified electrician every year.
Polices and procedure have to be followed and studied as this encourage us to work safely.
