Fire Risk Assessment for Schools in London
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, schools and educational premises are legally required to have a fire risk assessment. Educational environments often involve multiple classrooms, assembly halls, kitchens, laboratories and high levels of occupants, all of which require careful fire safety management.
Our school fire risk assessments review key areas including fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, escape routes, compartmentation and fire safety procedures. We also assess how evacuation arrangements account for younger pupils, vulnerable individuals and visitors unfamiliar with the building.
At T2 Fire, we provide comprehensive reports with practical recommendations to help schools improve fire safety standards and maintain ongoing compliance.
