Ensuring Student Safety: Best Practices for School Maintenance & Security

K-12 kids running into school.

As the new school year progresses, ensuring the safety and security of students and staff is paramount. Schools are bustling environments where hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals come together daily. This makes it crucial to have robust maintenance and security measures in place.  

Here are some best practices to help schools maintain a safe and secure environment, and how our services can support these efforts.  

Regular Maintenance Checks

Routine maintenance checks are essential to identify and address potential hazards before they become serious issues. This includes inspecting equipment, ensuring that HVAC systems are functioning correctly, and checking for any structural damages. 

Solution: We offer comprehensive maintenance management solutions that allow schools to schedule and track maintenance tasks efficiently. Our Work Order Management solution ensures no maintenance task is overlooked, helping to keep the school environment safe and well-maintained.  

Upgrading Security Systems

Modern security systems, including surveillance cameras, access control systems, and alarm systems, are vital for monitoring school premises and controlling access. Regularly updating these systems ensures they are effective and reliable.  

Solution: With our Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), schools can manage their security system upgrades seamlessly. Our CMMS provides a centralized system for tracking the installation and maintenance of security equipment, ensuring that all systems are up-to-date and functioning optimally.  

Emergency Preparedness

Schools must be prepared for emergencies, whether natural disasters, health crises, or security threats. This involves having clear emergency plans, conducting regular drills, and ensuring that all staff and students are familiar with emergency procedures.  

Solution: Our new Preventive Maintenance (PM) Scheduler helps schools develop and manage their emergency preparedness plans. It allows for the easy creation and distribution of emergency protocols, ensuring that everyone is informed and prepared.  

Ensuring the safety and security of students and staff is a continuous process that requires diligence and the right tools. Our comprehensive maintenance and management solutions are designed to help schools stay on top of their safety and security needs.
