DCSF Policy - Sprinklers - Risk Assessment Tools
On 1 March 2007, Jim Knight, the Minister of State for Schools and Learners, announced the new DCSF policy on sprinklers and their value as a measure against the risk of fire and arson.
All new schools should have fire sprinklers installed except for a few very low risk schools.
Although the provision of sprinklers is not a requirement of the Building Regulations, DCSF expects that the Education Authority, Funding Body or overall 'client' of the scheme, should request, as part of the Employer's Requirements, that a risk assessment be undertaken to assess the validity of providing sprinklers in the scheme.
To help clients, local authorities and design teams assess the level of risk and make the right decisions, the Building Research Establishment (BRE) has developed two new practical aids for DCSF.
