This classroom safety inspection checklist helps SITE teams and educators assess key hazards and conditions in learning spaces. It covers movement around the classroom including flooring condition, clear gangways, trailing cables, and adequate lighting, plus procedures for spillages and maintenance of access steps or ramps with handrails. Work at height controls include stepstools and window openers. Furniture and fixtures are checked for secure installation, suitability, stability, window restrictors, and radiator guards. Manual handling aids such as trolleys are considered. Computer and DSE use is addressed, along with electrical safety: sockets, cables, visual checks, and testing, with removal of damaged equipment. Asbestos awareness covers locations, condition, and guidance on fixing work to affected surfaces. Fire safety includes unobstructed exits, firefighting equipment, evacuation procedures, and signage. Environmental checks verify ventilation, temperature, and glare control. Use the checklist to record concerns, assign actions, and track completion.
