Education

Independent Safety Services Limited offers a range of services to Schools, Colleges, Universities and other educational organisations. Many educational establishments operate minibuses and need to ensure that staff required to drive these are adequately trained and appropriately licenced. The consequences of not doing so, can be horrific. Details available on our Driver Safety page.

Many such organisations have building work carried out which involves Working at Height which needs careful consideration when  in areas of high pedestrian footfall and risks associated with working in close proximity to Children and Young Adults.

We conduct Health & Safety and Fire Safety audits and Risk Assessments and produce Policies and Procedures based on findings.  Staff / Student training sessions can be delivered relating to these.

Waste management can also be a significant issue for schools / colleges.  Our consultants at Independent Safety Services Limited can offer advice on resource efficiency and management of a wide range of wastes from recycling to hazardous chemicals. They are aware of the legislation that affects the management and movement of waste including,

• environment and waste legislation
• health and safety legislation
• transport legislation (for removal of wastes)

We are experienced advisers on the management of hazardous and non hazardous wastes and  can recommend the best solution to meet your needs.  We are happy to conduct a waste audit for you and determine ways in which you may be able to reduce your costs.  We can assist you in developing ways to implement an action plan and can come back and report on progress for you.  You might want to consider an Environmental Management System of which waste would be one component.  As the cost of waste management rises it is necessary to address all areas including assessing the value of what is in your waste stream in addition to the cost of final disposal.
