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?
Your school fire alarm system will include a control panel (which can be connected to your intruder alarm system), manual push points, smoke detectors and sprinklers.
Blake's can offer your school specialised fire alarm systems subject to a free survey from one of our experts.These systems can include modern touch screen devices and flashing sirens for hard of hearing pupils.

In addition to the stress of your internal fire safety practices, it's also the Fire Marshal's job to contact the authorities in the case of a real emergency.
However, this worry can be taken away with a monitored alarm system.
The ARC monitoring station have direct contact with the Police and Fire Brigade, so authorities can be notified ASAP when the alarm is activated. Your school's alarm will never go unheard.
If your school fire alarm system is being maintained by an NSI Gold and SSAIB accredited professional, like Blake's, your school won't need to close!
We offer emergency call outs at any time of the day or night. One of our qualified engineers will be with you in a maximum of 4 hours.
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!
