Do others have an opinion on this as to whether bleach it's allowedin schools? Obviously COSHH applies etc and they would need to consider whether something less hazardous could be used instead but interested to know if others have come across this before. Thanks.

What do you mean “allowed”? If you mean, is it permitted to bring a bottle of bleach into a school the answer is “there is no law against it”. On the other hand would I leave an open bottle of bleach in a classroom of year ones along with suitable drinking vessels; I would say “that’s not a good idea”. Can you use bleach in a school: the answer to that is it depends on what you use it for. COSHH, which you mention is about managing a process that involve substances that are hazardous to health. That is what the risk assessment is about. So what do you want to use it for and how do you intend to manage it’s use? Edited by user 19 November 2021 16:06:07(UTC)

Herb - I would be surprised if there were many schools which DON'T have bleach. [There are probably some which have opted not to use bleach for reasons, some sound, some less so] The risks are clearly marked on the bottles and in essence a school would usually be scaling up the precautions that parents should apply in the home inclusive of remembering to put on some PPE.

I'm assuming you mean the use of bleach by Cleaners in schools. Our local authority promotes the use of "bleach-free" products for use in schools. Whether they are as effective is another matter...
