When it comes to fire safety, ensuring everyone can evacuate safely is not just a standard – it’s a human right. As the UK government prepares to transfer responsibility for fire and rescue policy from the Home Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), the move marks a significant turning point in the country’s approach to fire safety, building regulation, and safeguarding.

When it comes to fire and rescue services (FRSs), safeguarding is not just a legal requirement – it’s a moral imperative. Every individual in the community, regardless of their circumstances, deserves protection from abuse, harm, and neglect.
Despite existing legislation, many FRSs still face challenges in implementing effective safeguarding measures. That’s why the Fire Standards Board (FSB) has introduced the Safeguarding Fire Standard – a comprehensive framework designed to embed safeguarding principles into the core operations of every FRS.

Education is a fundamental right, and institutions of higher learning have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that every student, regardless of their abilities, can access and thrive in their academic environment.Yet, for many students with mobility impairments or disabilities, barriers persist.
These obstacles can range from inaccessible facilities to inadequate support services, making it difficult to fully participate in university or school life. The question we must address is: How can we ensure that being mobility-impaired or disabled does not preclude anyone from accessing the school of their choice or participating in everyday student life?

When coming up with our fire evacuation plans, we all hope that we will never really need to use them to escape a serious emergency. For persons who are able-bodied, an evacuation is usually just a calm walk down the stairs and a short wait in the car park, but for persons of reduced mobility, things are not always as simple.
Disabled people, especially those with more advanced needs, are at an increased risk of being injured or have an existing condition aggravated if the evacuation is not suitable and well-practiced. There are a few pointers that we see a lot of our customers feeding back on, recalling that they feel in pain, unsafe or undignified and at Evaccess we feel that we have a duty of care to pass this feedback onto the people who may be building PEEPs that may be unaware of some of these factors to consider.

Fire doors are critical when it comes to ensuring occupant and property safety during a fire. Fire doors act as a crucial line of defence, keeping fire at bay, buying time for the emergency services to arrive, or to help keep a clear pathway to safety.

Whether you are a landlord, tenant, or simply curious about fire safety regulations, this blog aims to give you an understanding of fire doors, particularly FD30 fire door specifications, and their essential role in fire protection.

Fire safety is a paramount concern for building owners and occupants alike. When it comes to passive fire protection, compartmentation is a crucial strategy that relies on using fire-resistant barriers to contain fires, limit their spread, and protect lives and property.
For many of us, compartmentation may conjure up the picture of fire doors. Fire doors are, of course, a crucial element of compartmentation. However, there are many more elements to preventing the spread of fire. This guide focuses on essential aspects of fire compartmentation beyond fire doors: fire-stopping in ceilings and walls.

Fire safety in buildings is paramount, and fire doors play a critical role in safeguarding occupants and limiting the spread of fire and smoke. This means fire door surveys are of the highest importance, too, as they are key to ensuring fire doors function optimally.

An international issue, alarm fatigue occurs when a person becomes desensitised to an alarm due to repeated false alarms and as a result fails to react appropriately in an emergency – having potentially fatal effects.
-
More than 2,600 false fire alarms were maliciously activated across England in 2019/20 – disrupting schools and businesses, placing unnecessary strain on our emergency services, and reducing the confidence the general public have in fire alarms.
-
False fire alarms have risen by nearly 30% in just five years at NHS trusts across England; stretching resources, unsettling patients, and disrupting vital healthcare.
-
Disrupting vital teaching time, interfering with crucial exams and causing unnecessary evacuations, false fire alarms remain a troublesome nuisance within the education sector – creating a barrier to learning.
-
Student halls of residence are synonymous with false fire alarms; burnt toast, drunken accidents, or reckless pranks – every false alarm contributes towards the dangerous effects of alarm fatigue.
