Important Disclaimer
Please read carefully before viewing your results:
This is a screening tool, not a Fire Risk Assessment. It uses your answers to indicate a risk level and highlight areas that warrant attention, so you have an informed basis for a conversation with a competent fire risk assessor.
The output does not satisfy your duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Article 9 (the requirement to ensure a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is in place). It is not insurable, certifiable or auditable as an FRA. Where your premises is rated HIGH risk, where people sleep on the premises, in healthcare or multi-occupancy residential settings, or where your insurer requires it, the assessment must be carried out by a competent person.
Every premises is different — this tool cannot make decisions for you. Review every finding against your actual premises and consider whether the same or different action is appropriate.
This tool does not replace professional advice or a Fire Risk Assessment carried out by a competent person (typically IFSM, IFE, or a BAFE SP205 / UKAS-registered assessor).

This is a screening tool, not a First-Aid Needs Assessment. It uses your answers to indicate the likely level of first-aid provision — trained first aiders, training type, kits, AED, special considerations — so you can act on the suggestions and document them as part of your own needs assessment.
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, Regulation 3 places the duty on the employer to make sure provision is “adequate and appropriate” based on the workplace's specific circumstances. HSE guidance L74 (“First aid at work”) describes how to carry out this assessment — this tool follows that method and HSE ratios, but does not capture every nuance of your premises or activities.
Where the assessment indicates a higher-risk workplace, where the EYFS Statutory Framework applies (children under 5), or where staff or pupils have specific medical conditions, you should review the suggestions against the relevant statutory guidance and consider whether occupational health or first-aid consultancy input is appropriate.
This tool does not replace the employer's own first-aid needs assessment. The suggestions are a starting point and must be reviewed against your specific workplace.

This is a trip-planning aid, not your school's risk assessment. It helps the visit leader work through the checks described in DfE guidance (“Health and safety on educational visits”) and OEAP National Guidance, and to record the answers as a starting point for your own visit risk assessment.
The legal duty of care for educational visits sits with your employer — the local authority, academy trust or governing body — and the visit must still go through your school's own risk assessment and approval process (visit leader → Educational Visits Coordinator → head). This tool does not approve the visit and does not discharge that duty.
Apart from the EYFS statutory minima for early-years children, staffing ratios and most other controls are not fixed by law — they must be decided by risk assessment for your specific pupils, venue and activities. Judge every suggestion below against your own visit.
This tool does not replace your school's own visit risk assessment or your employer's approval process.
Please read carefully before viewing your results:
This is a screening and preparation aid, not your school's allergy safety policy or risk assessment. It highlights gaps against the DfE statutory guidance “Allergy safety in schools” (published 6 July 2026) and Benedict's Law — section 34 of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 — and produces an action list and a policy-content checklist to help your school prepare.
The statutory guidance applies now as have-regard guidance; the binding allergy-safety-policy duty is expected from September 2026 (commencement instrument awaited), and further duties — spare adrenaline devices, all-staff training, a named lead, incident recording — are expected via later regulations. Nothing pending should be read as in-force law today. This tool assumes an England setting unless your answers say otherwise.
It supports but does not replace your school's own duty: your governing body and named senior leader remain responsible for the allergy safety policy and arrangements. Take clinical questions — doses, individual pupils, action plans — to the child's healthcare professional or your school nursing service.
This tool does not write your allergy safety policy for you and does not constitute legal or clinical advice.

This is a guidance tool only, designed to assist you in carrying out your own assessment. It uses the answers you have provided to indicate a risk level and highlight areas you may wish to consider.
Every workplace and premises is different — this tool cannot make decisions for you. You must consider your specific circumstances, hazards and environment when deciding what action to take.
This tool does not replace professional advice or a formal assessment carried out by a qualified assessor.

Your Guidance Summary
These figures are an approximate guide only. The HSE is clear that it cannot tell you how many first aiders you need — as the employer you are best placed to decide, based on the specific work you do, your hazards and your risks. There are no fixed numbers. Treat the suggestions below as a starting point and a sense-check, then make your own decision in your first-aid needs assessment — you may well need more than is shown if your activities warrant it. Analysing your own workplace activities is the most important step.
HSE L74 advises considering provision for absences including holidays, sickness and training. This suggested total includes approximately 50% additional cover above the minimum to help ensure adequate first aid provision. It is an approximate guide — your own first-aid needs assessment, based on your specific activities and risks, decides what is adequate for your workplace.

The most important step: your own specific risks
The numbers above are only a guide. The HSE is clear that you are best placed to decide your provision, based on the actual hazards and activities in your workplace. Add the specific risks you can think of below — they will be saved with your assessment and included in your report, so you have a record of your own judgement.
