Health and Safety Policy
The school regards Health and Safety of paramount importance and gives it the highest priority.
The objective of the Health and Safety Policy is to minimise risks to Health and Safety of the Students, Staff and others affected by the School’s activities, by identifying and then controlling hazards. The Principal will provide a positive lead in organising Health and Safety activities, using the best available knowledge and methods and whatever resources are necessary to achieve the required standards.
Accident prevention is essential for the smooth and efficient running of the School requiring full co-operation between all concerned. They are also required to act in a safe way themselves, use protective equipment provided, follow the Health and Safety Rules, Regulations and Requirements and report all hazardous conditions to the school office or Principal.AIS will ensure that there is an effective policy for Health and Safety within the school and will be responsible for ensuring the establishment and effectiveness of that programme.
The school management will periodically discuss the effectiveness of the policy with the teachers at staff meetings to ensure that any necessary changes are made. All staff should be aware that the school grounds are a non-smoking area and visitors should be advised accordingly.
