When schools embark on structural changes to their premises, particularly during the summer months when students are on break, it is imperative to prioritise fire safety measures. These alterations, ranging from renovations to expansions, significantly impact the overall fire risk profile of the school environment. As such, a comprehensive fire risk assessment becomes not only necessary but also legally required in the UK.

The fire risk assessment identifies new fire hazards introduced by the structural modifications. For example, something as simple as upgrading the school canteen could lead to:

• Electrical fire risks from toasters, microwaves, refrigerators

• Class F and C fires from cooking oils, fats, grease and propane gases

• Class B fires from chemicals, cleaning agents etc

A large proportion of the fire safety with any education setting, is the servicing of any and all fire equipment, whether that is the extinguihsers, fire blankets or any part of the fire alarm system.
