The knowledge integration encompassed by occupational safety and its analysis methods has been increasingly used in many different types of organizations. This is due to the importance of obtaining a healthy and safe environment for the collaborator. The current work was carried out in a municipal public school in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo (SP), which serves kindergarten and elementary schools. As an objective, suggestions for improving the work environment are proposed, aiming to provide more comfort and satisfaction with it, in addition to identifying and evaluating the occupational risks to which students and workers in the environment are exposed. To this end, a survey of environmental risks was conducted within the existing risk classifications, and for this, the Preliminary Risk Analysis (PRA) method and the relevance matrix were used. Moreover, issues related to environmental comfort were also verified, analyzing the temperature of the environment and its lighting at strategic points, and comparing them with the values allowed by current legislation. The obtained results verified the true need for interventions and adjustments in the workplace, both because of the presence of occupational risks to which employees and students are exposed and because of higher environmental comfort values than those permitted by law.
