Introduction and Contents

  • It is important to recognize that numerous items within the school premises require regular servicing, inspections, and testing. This is a legal obligation under various regulations, including the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974), the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (1994), and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (2005) etc. Consequently, it is essential to maintain comprehensive records and implement schedules to uphold the safety of the school community.

    This audit will examine the available records, the frequency of maintenance activities, and the individuals responsible for these tasks to ensure that the school remains compliant with all applicable regulations.
