Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for teachers, technicians and subject leads to safely inspect school ICT and computing rooms. It guides you through essential checks to protect staff, students and equipment from electrical hazards, overheating, and unsafe cable layouts.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that all power sockets, plugs and surge protectors are in good condition.
  • Confirming that computers, monitors and other equipment are operating within safe temperature limits.
  • Ensuring that power and data cables are neatly routed, secured and free from trip hazards.
  • Assessing that each workstation complies with DSE ergonomic standards.
  • Checking that fire safety equipment and emergency routes are in place and unobstructed.
  • Validating that spare equipment and peripherals are stored securely.

The checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt it to the specific layout and equipment of your ICT environment while maintaining compliance with health and safety legislation.

How to use: print the checklist or open it on a tablet during routine inspections, record any non‑conformities, and assign corrective actions to responsible staff. This practice supports ongoing safety monitoring and aligns with the school’s risk management procedures.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Regulations 1992.
