Hi,
For this you can use your policies and procedures, how you have developed a system (policy) and the procedure is how you implement it.
So, you will have a (or a few) health and safety policy/ies i.e your fire drill policy.
How have you developed/made/written it -
you ensure when you were drawing up the fire drill policy that all safety aspects were covered such as
the building would be evacuated of children, adults and visitors
the premises would be checked by someone to ensure it was empty
you would gather in a safe place
the emergency service would be rung etc
Your procedure would be how you implemented/went about putting the policy into practice so that everyone knows what to do and who is responsible for actions needed.
Who raises the alarm?
Who gathers the children?
Where do you gather ? (near the door or well away?)
Who checks the building?
Who rings the emergency services?
Does anyone take a mobile phone out so you can ring the emergency services?
Who collects the register if possible? - if you are able to take this, it enables you to check everyone is safe, but in a real emergency and it was dangerous to get it, then you have to consider your own safety.
Who records the details whether practice or reality?
Where are these records kept?
and so on..........
You can look at all your health and safety and go through as above i.e.
Food the health/safety and hygiene policy and the procedure you follow to ensure that noone gets food posioning etc how - trainign, handwashing, cleaning kitchen etc etc
I expect you may need to add how often you review your policies - and why you may need to alter, adapt or change anything.i.e. if you moved premises, procedures may need to be changed for a fire drill or you may start to cook lunches , so you food safety may need to be updated, training etc
I hope this helps you to start.
