Typical hazards & measures
Unsupervised use of open flames in experiments
— Supervise students closely during experiments involving open flames, and ensure that fire extinguishers and fire blankets are readily accessible.
Flammable wall displays
— Ensure wall displays are made of fire-retardant materials. Keep displays limited to small areas to reduce the amount of combustible material in any one space.
Obstructed fire exits
— Ensure that all exits are clearly marked, illuminated, and free from obstructions at all times. Conduct routine checks of all escape routes and exits during daily inspections.
Smoking areas near buildings
— Designate smoking areas away from buildings and ensure proper disposal of smoking materials in fireproof receptacles.
Portable heaters
— Prohibit the use of portable heaters unless they are necessary and PAT tested. Ensure heaters have safety cut-off features and are used only when attended.
