Fire doors and procedures in schools

[Guest DeanBol]

We are a large split site school and would like some advice on fire procedures and fire door regulations as we are currently undergoing a refurb on all final exit doors.
Many thanks
Dean

I would suggest you check out http://www.firesafe.org.uk which covers all fire safety subjects or employ the sevices of a compent fire risk assessor.

I would suggest that you use the services of a competent external risk assessor, schools tend to be in varying conditions of compliance and upgrade works can be prohibitively expensive.

You need a decent FRA provider who can split requirements into 'nice to do (but not mandatory)' and 'need to do' and who can help prioritise the works so as to spread the cost.

We have schools experience and would be happy to help further - PM me for more information.
