LSC Standards for Health, Safety and Welfare

The LSC standards for health and safety have been provided to assist clarity and consistency in assuring that learners are in safe, healthy and supportive environments. The standards apply to all LSC funded learning and are particularly relevant when the learning is vocational and takes place for a time with employers. Funded organisations must judge the suitability of health, safety and welfare in the place where learning is conducted.

> There are nine core standards for:

1. A health and safety policy

2. Risk assessment and control measures

3. Accidents and incidents, including the provision of first-aid

4. Effective supervision, training, information and instruction

5. Suitable and appropriate equipment and machinery

6. Provision and use of necessary personal protective equipment and clothing

7. Fire and other foreseeable emergencies

8. A safe and healthy working environment

9. The management of health and safety.

> The 10th standard is specific to the learner, the activities they perform and the support required:

10. The LSC-funded organisation and/or employer manages the learner, or young person’s health, safety and welfare.
