Stay Ahead This Summer: School Fire Safety Measures

With the summer holidays fast approaching, now is the ideal time to ensure your school’s fire safety measures are up to date, compliant and ready for the new academic year in September.

At Nortec Fire, we support schools across the North East with comprehensive fire risk assessments tailored to the unique needs of educational buildings. Whether you manage a nursery, primary or secondary school, we understand the fire safety challenges that come with classrooms, kitchens, science labs, sports halls and shared spaces. Each part of a school comes with its own fire risks, and it’s essential that your assessment reflects the full complexity of your site.

The summer holidays offer the perfect opportunity to carry out a full review of your premises. Without the usual term-time pressures, our team can complete assessments with minimal disruption, giving you time to act on any recommendations well before pupils return in September. It also allows for any follow-up work to be completed in a safe, unoccupied environment.

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. More importantly, it’s a key step in protecting your staff, pupils and visitors. Our qualified and DBS-checked assessors will take the time to understand your site, identify potential hazards and evaluate your current measures. We’ll then provide clear, practical advice to help you meet your legal obligations and strengthen your fire safety strategy.

We’re committed to helping schools across the region improve their health and safety standards and mitigate fire risks. With tailored support and a clear understanding of the education sector, we make the process straightforward and stress-free.

Now is the time to act. Book your fire risk assessment with Nortec Fire this summer to ensure your school is safe and ready for the new term.
