The education sector faces a unique combination of risks, balancing the need for functioning facilities with the highest duty of care for students and staff. We can advise on specialised, holistic solutions for Fire Safety Management, along with crucial Water and Legionella Control, establishing us as your single, dependable partner for campus health and safety assurance.

Comprehensive Fire Risk Management for Educational Premises

Fire safety in educational buildings, from historic halls to modern dormitories and laboratories, is a complex, non-negotiable requirement. Our certified fire risk assessors deliver meticulous, location-specific fire risk assessments that ensure complete regulatory adherence. We don’t just assess; we empower your staff with clear strategies to manage this critical risk.

Our specialised fire safety services include:

• Building-Specific Assessments: Detailed evaluations of fire risks based on the age, occupancy, layout, and usage of each educational building (e.g., classrooms, science labs, residential blocks).
• Preventative Policy Development: Expert guidance on fire prevention, covering best practices for managing electrical equipment, chemical storage, fire door integrity, and general housekeeping across the campus.
• Robust Emergency Planning: Assistance in developing clear, easily understood fire evacuation procedures and drills tailored for diverse groups of students and staff, ensuring a safe and orderly response during an emergency.
• Compliance Documentation: Provision of thorough reporting and documentation to effectively demonstrate compliance with all relevant fire safety regulations and standards to governing bodies.

Essential Water Safety and Legionella Control for Campuses

Ensuring safe, potable water and managing facility water systems are critical to student and staff well-being. Our water hygiene services are specifically designed to manage the complexities of campus water infrastructure, which often includes complex plumbing, kitchens, sports facilities, and sometimes seasonal occupancy that can create risks.

Water Quality and System Management

We manage the full spectrum of water needs to prevent contamination and ensure all systems are operating safely:

• Routine Water Quality Testing: Regular sampling and analysis to check for microbiological and chemical contaminants, ensuring the water is safe for consumption and use in welfare facilities.
• System Maintenance and Auditing: Inspection and maintenance of campus water systems, including storage tanks, hot water generators (calorifiers), and distribution networks, often focusing on high-risk areas like showers and kitchens.
• Bespoke Hygiene Solutions: Providing tailored advice and services to meet the specific water demands and usage patterns unique to the academic calendar.

Specialised Legionella Services

The risk of Legionella bacteria is particularly concerning in educational settings due to large, often complex water systems and periods of reduced occupancy (e.g., school holidays), which can lead to stagnation. Our proactive approach is essential for safeguarding the health of your school community.

Our Legionella control services include:

• Detailed Legionella Risk Assessments: Thorough evaluations of all water systems across the campus to pinpoint and classify potential Legionella risks.
• Control and Monitoring Programmes: Establishing effective plans to regularly manage, treat, and monitor water temperatures and chemical levels, preventing bacterial proliferation.
• Cleaning and Disinfection: Expert services for the chemical disinfection (flushing/purging) of water systems, especially after periods of low use, to ensure the eradication of harmful bacteria.
