Blake Fire and Security Systems
Schools and other educational buildings are often vulnerable to intruders. Once someone is inside, there is the potential for theft, damage and even the setting of a fire.

Take home point - if you don't use a professional, qualified and accredited installation company you are taking an unnecessary risk. If anything goes wrong you face a large fine or even imprisonment.
The Responsible Person has a job on their hands. He/she must organise a fire risk assessment, review it annually and act on it accordingly. This includes informing and training staff about the risks, put in place fire safety measures and plan for an emergency.
Your fire risk assessment needs to follow FSO guidelines because it
places ultimate responsibility for competency and engineering skills of the installer or service provider onto the owner of the fire system. This places unmanageable levels of responsibility on fire-safety system owners
So the buck really does stop with the responsbile person OR the owner of the system! For schools, this means the Head Teacher, Governing Body, the Bursar/Financial Manager or another member of staff is ultimately responsible! Ask yourself, how qualified is your responsible person to ensure the competency and engineering skills of the installer?
Blake Fire & Security Systems will take care of everything for you because we are qualified to do so and have the track record to back it up.
Safeguarding school children remains high on the OFSTED agenda. So choosing the right company to trust your school's security to is critical but easy. Look for a professional company with the right accreditation!

Terror attacks, knife and gun crimes are often in the news. And schools have been asking how they can safeguard their staff and pupils. If a threat presents itself, the Lockdown Alert Alarm will prompt staff and occupants of the building to go into Lockdown procedures. These may include locking classroom doors and getting into hiding positions. Find out if your Fire Alarm could integrate with a Lockdown Alert Switch.
Most electricians have not had the training and are not qualified to design, install or maintain emergency lighting. All our designs are checked by dedicated software that ensures your escape routes are safe, fit for all purpose and compliant!
