Uncertain about health and safety compliance, fire risk or statutory safety duties? Let us help

We know how busy School Business Managers are. Having responsibility for a broad portfolio of tasks in school management, finance, premises, HR, and health & safety SBMs are busy people. Of all the tasks, the one responsibility that is life critical is safety.

School Business Managers tell us that safety is often the one area of their role that they lose sleep over. They are aware that certain areas of statutory compliance are not being attended too, possibly due to a lack of time or critical safety know how. JCH Safety can help with this.

We work with a variety of schools and colleges in both the public and private sectors. As a result we are experienced in helping schools with health and safety.
