Fire Risk Assessments for Schools in Milton Keynes will need to cover the specific needs of schools in particular, in addition to the normal needs of commercial premises. The Fire Risk Assessment Milton Keynes schools require should cover the normal needs of a Fire Risk Assessment, but also cover the specific needs of the school in particular.
Evacuating Pupils With Mobility Needs
All pupils with mobility difficulties should have a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) in place. This plan should be written down and put into practice, for instance by carrying out regular evacuations and briefings the relevant staff members.
Classroom and Lab Hazards
Identify specific hazards in School areas, particularly those containing ignition sources and materials that could catch fire and burn, such as Science, Design & Technology and Art rooms, checking storage, gases, waste etc. and that all are managed correctly.
Kitchen and Catering Areas
School kitchens are full of materials that can burn. Check the cleaning records for the extraction ducts, the condition of the fire suppression system and the procedures that staff in the school kitchen would follow to isolate a fire.
After-Hours Hirers
Many schools hold after-hours functions, let out classroom space to external organisations or even hold weekend letters. Fire risk assessments should clearly state the responsible person(s) for each of these occasions and confirm that all hirers receive an appropriate fire safety briefing prior to use of the premises.
Fire Doors in Busy Corridors
The fire doors in busy corridors are probably subject to high wear and tear, so every term go for a walk round and check that the self-closers are working correctly and that doors have not been propped open. Intumescent strips are also vulnerable to damage and need to be checked for damage also.
