4. What is fire risk assessment in schools?

Fire risk assessment in schools involves identifying potential fire hazards and evaluating the level of risk they present. This includes checking electrical equipment, storage areas, laboratories, and evacuation routes. The aim is to reduce risks before incidents occur and ensure safe movement during emergencies. It is a legal requirement under UK fire safety law.
