Education providers understand the critical role of compliance and safety management in protecting staff and students
Safety and compliance are critical for education providers to safeguard students, staff, visitors and contractors from incidents on site. The sector sees widespread use of contractors for various purposes, including cleaning, maintenance, electrical works, and more. Effective contractor safety management for educational institutions involves comprehensive pre-screening, ongoing prequalification, and secure site access controls across schools and campus facilities.
Cm3’s in-house assessment team are experienced in the risks and legislative obligations for employers, employees, and contractors in the context of schools and higher education. With Cm3’s ecosystem of compliance solutions, education providers can increase safety and compliance across their facilities, providing safer environments for students, staff, and visitors.

Effective preparedness for emergency management & evacuations
Implementing effective emergency management processes is critical in the event of a threat of evacuation. Cm3’s dedicated emergency management risk review assesses contractor’s preparedness to manage emergencies on site, including their safe work procedures.
