Although the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (usually known as the Fire Safety Order) has been law for four years a recent survey by Managed Support Services Plc found that nearly 50% of schools were in breach of compliance, with 30% not having carried out a fire risk assessment in the last year.
Our experience as the UK’s leading specialist in ventilation cleaning services would indicate a more worrying picture. Of more than 100 school extract ventilation systems which we have cleaned in the last 12 months every one retained sufficient grease deposits on the internal ducting surfaces to support a major fire in the event of a spark or flame from the cooking operation providing a source of ignition.
An example of how life threatening and destructive extract ducting fires can be was provided by a recent fire at a Burger King restaurant in central London’s Liverpool Street. Carrying out duct cleaning to make extract systems safe is neither a complicated nor expensive process. Not to take action is to put lives of teachers and pupils at risk.
