Facilities management plays a crucial role in ensuring that schools provide a safe and healthy environment for students, teachers, and visitors. This includes maintaining the buildings, ensuring that utilities are in good working order, and overseeing cleaning and maintenance operations. 

 

In addition to managing the day-to-day operation of the facilities, it is essential to ensure that any work undertaken on the premises is done safely and according to regulations. This includes the need to carefully vet contractors before allowing them to undertake work and ensuring they are planning the work and working safely. 

 

To this end, it is important to require contractors to provide detailed method statements and risk assessments before undertaking work. These documents outline the work to be done, the potential hazards involved, and the steps that will be taken to mitigate those hazards.
