Be prepared for periods of hot weather with this practical Hot Weather / Heatwave Risk Assessment, developed specifically for Early Learning and Care and School Age Childcare services in Ireland.
Hot weather can present additional risks to children, particularly babies and young children, who are more vulnerable to heat-related illness. This ready-to-use template helps services identify potential hazards, implement appropriate control measures and document the actions taken to keep children, staff and visitors safe during periods of elevated temperatures.
The risk assessment includes practical control measures, a checklist of additional actions to consider during hot weather, and space to record actions taken. It is designed to be reviewed and updated as weather conditions change, helping services respond appropriately throughout periods of hot weather.
This resource supports services in taking a proactive approach to health and safety and can help demonstrate effective risk management during a Tusla inspection.
Please Note: This template should be adapted to reflect the individual layout, environment and procedures of your own service and reviewed whenever weather conditions or circumstances change.
