What our University Fire Risk Assessment covers
Complete campus walk through
The journey starts in the boiler house and ends on the roof. Lecture theatres, lab suites, server rooms, cafés, music studios, sports halls, plant decks, and student flats all appear on the checklist. Ignition points such as solder irons in design labs, microwaves in common rooms, and charging racks full of e-scooters pair with fuel loads like stage curtains and archive stores. Every photo is pinned to your CAD plan so maintenance sees the exact socket cluster that needs attention. Evacuation drills are timed at a realistic student pace, noting pinch spots where vending machines or poster boards narrow escape routes.
Grease ductwork runs like a fuse if left dirty. Filters are inspected, grease depth photographed, and cleaning cycles compared with TR 19 guidance. Catering leads use this data for insurance and environmental health.
BS 5839 alarm inspection
Detectors in corridors, fume cupboards, plant voids, and loft spaces are pole tested. Mains power is isolated to prove batteries last a full day plus thirty minutes of siren time. Sound mapping aims for sixty five decibels in classrooms and seventy five in residencies. The fault log prints at reception and each code is translated into clear language before we leave.
Emergency Lighting Testing
A three hour battery run shows which fittings fade early. Lux readings capture blind corners in basement corridors and stair towers behind lecture halls. Each light head is tagged then plotted on your drawing so monthly checks become quick.
From neuroscience labs to film edit suites we measure door gaps to a three millimetre target, check seals for paint, and confirm closers latch. Magnetic holds on hall partitions release during the alarm run and wall heads are traced into the ceiling void to block smoke paths through cable trays.
Risk Evaluation & Action Plan
Every finding enters a Red Amber Green grid. Red issues need action within seven days such as a blocked stair exit behind exam desk stacks. Amber items carry thirty day deadlines like an expired extinguisher in the media suite. Green improvements sit on a ninety day window for best practice, perhaps moving resin printers into a vented store. Costs are banded under two hundred fifty, two fifty to nine ninety nine, and one thousand plus giving finance instant clarity.
Digital Compliance Pack
Paper files drift between faculties. A password protected cloud folder holds the FRA, alarm certificate, lighting log, and door schedule with linked images. Pre filled log book templates let caretakers tick and sign without drafting pages from scratch. Share links allow deans, insurers, or fire officers a single view reducing email chains.
