There are approximately 120 different students use just our welding facilities weekly.

I fail to see how staff and students can be keep to reccomended guidance.

Risk assessment is all well and good but unless you have a very good knowledge of the risks and hazards it would be extremely had to write an assessment.
The point I was trying to make is that lateral thinking is required, because it is clearly not possible to carry on as before, at least for the foreseeable future. See also JackD's post.
Your college may well have to reduce class sizes, rotate lessons, introduce one way systems, implement strict cleaning procedures, and consider dozens of other factors. If after an extensive review, the building, lesson content, social distancing problems, etc. cannot be overcome, then the college will be unable to open. Although unlikely, at least the possibilities have been explored.
