Health & safety audits in Schools, England & Wales
LRMS provides independent health and safety audits for schools and education settings. Our audits review how effectively your arrangements are working in practice — covering leadership, responsibilities, risk assessments, procedures, training, contractor control, site conditions, science and DT hazards, playground safety, incident management and emergency arrangements. Findings are rated and prioritised, and each action is assigned an owner, a priority and a target date.
Why local Schools knowledge matters
School H&S sits at the intersection of health and safety law, DfE guidance and safeguarding expectations. We understand the realities of education estates — from legacy buildings and temporary accommodation to new-build academies — and deliver proportionate audits that reflect how schools actually operate. We do not overstate safeguarding or educational-law expertise; our focus is the health and safety management system.
H&S audits across Schools premises
We undertake health and safety audits across commercial, residential and specialist premises. The scope is agreed according to your organisation, activities, risks and applicable legal requirements.
