It’s that time of year again; time for fire safety and security summer holiday updates for schools.
The summer holidays are on their way, so it’s the perfect time to book in fire safety and security updates in schools, nurseries, colleges and universities.
The Saracen Fire Protection team has availability throughout the summer holidays, so you can complete your Fire Safety and Security Summer Holiday Updates for Schools while the students are off, without worrying about logistics, safeguarding, or disruption. It’s so much easier!
Why do you need fire safety and security summer holiday updates for schools?
Many fire and security requirements require attention, upkeep, and regular updates. The summer holidays provide our fire protection engineers with the time they need to carry out all the necessary work.
What should you be thinking about for fire safety and security summer holiday updates for schools?
Here are the main areas you should be thinking about:
1. Fire Safety Inspections & Servicing
This is the big one. Fire alarm systems, extinguishers, emergency lighting and sprinkler systems all need regular inspection and maintenance. Summer is the ideal time to complete these tasks with minimal interruptions to classes or activities. If any part of the system needs to be replaced or upgraded, it can be done swiftly without causing disruptions or fire drills.
2. Intruder Alarm Upgrades
School properties can be vulnerable during the holidays, especially when left unoccupied for long stretches. If your intruder alarm system is outdated, summer is a great time to bring it up to modern standards. Today’s systems are smarter, easier to manage remotely, and better integrated with other security measures.
3. CCTV Installations & Servicing
CCTV has become a necessity for most schools, serving as both a deterrent and a means of monitoring incidents. Whether it’s time to expand your coverage, upgrade old cameras, or simply service your existing system, it’s far easier to do it over the summer when you won’t be navigating around students or disrupting learning.
4. Access Control Reviews
Access control is about more than locking doors. It’s about knowing who’s on-site and when. From keypad entries to FOB-based systems, there’s a wide range of options for schools seeking to enhance their access management. Summer is the perfect time to review current systems and explore safer, more efficient alternatives, especially in larger schools or multi-academy trusts.
Staying on top of inspections and maintenance ensures schools comply with safety regulations and reduces the risk of costly call-outs or emergencies in the future, making it a worthwhile consideration.
