Electrical, fire & safety compliance for schools & nurseries
Buildings full of children need safety you can absolutely rely on. EFS keeps your school or nursery tested and certified - fire alarms, emergency lighting, electrics and appliances - so children and staff are protected and your safety records are always in order.
The compliance picture
What a school or nursery has to stay on top of
Education settings put a duty of care to children at the centre of everything, and that raises the bar for fire and electrical safety. Alarms and emergency lighting must be reliable, classroom and kitchen equipment must be safe, and your records need to stand up to inspection.
- Fire alarms and detection must be reliable across the whole site
- Emergency lighting protects children and staff on a busy, spread-out site
- Classroom, ICT and kitchen equipment all need PAT testing
- Safeguarding and inspection expectations demand evidenced safety records
