cooking in a classroom

[Guest rburton@george-spencer.not]

Hi All

we have a class room that measures 6.5 m by 6m

the inclusion team would like to use this classroom for some life skills and a small breakfast club using one small electric cooker

there will be a max of 6 students and 2 staff,there is only one door in and out leading straight outside the door measures 900mm,

are we allowed to carry this out as far as fire regs go,a full risk assesment will be done and a method statement

[Mike North]

Probably yes, however you need a risk assessment and probably a change of use

[AnthonyB]

Subject to risk assessment and the appropriate measures put in place it should be OK. BB100 design guidance for fire safety in schools will help you too as will other schools design publications
