Whole-site view
Main buildings, extensions, temporary classrooms and how they link together.
Education
Every building on the site, assessed properly
School and college sites often grow over many years, with older buildings, extensions and temporary classrooms side by side. Each has its own risks, and the whole site has to work together in an evacuation.
We assess education premises under the Fire Safety Order, following PAS 79-1:2020 and the government guide for educational premises. We can plan visits around the school day or holidays to keep disruption down.
