Welcome. Schools present a specific concern for managing risk. Children are particularly susceptible to the hazards they can be exposed to while at school. Moreover, children do not have any control over their school environment. Whether you are a parent of school children or just interested in risk management you'll find this month's topics of interest.

Enjoy your reading.

School soil assessment
Waste soil from industrial and mining sources has been in the past used as fill material. There is the potential for this soil to contain contaminants. A school site risk management program should be adopted to control the risk.

Indoor air quality in schools
During a critical period of their growth and development children spend a large part of their day at school. Poor indoor air quality is undesirable. A risk management approach can be effective in managing indoor air quality issues.

> >  Property Risk
Flooring: Where 'ere You Walk
A floor is the most used surface in a building. There are many factors to be taken into account when choosing a floor covering or finish.

Managing Asbestos in Schools

An asbestos hazard in the school environment is a highly emotive issue, which needs to be carefully managed and communicated to parents, students, staff and workers alike.
