This guide is designed to help schools manage the use of practical rooms for other activities, such as general teaching.

This is to be used from September 2020.

This guide identifies the areas that should be considered prior to embarking on practical work in a general teaching room, rather than a workshop, food room or art studio.

This guidance is a list of things to consider when returning to school after an extended period of closure or non-use.

Developing colour or black and white films or prints. Fixing colour or black and white films or prints. Stop baths used between developing and fixing. Chemicals used for specialist treatments.
