Keeping your school, college, or university safe is vital to protect students, staff, and facilities. Fire safety is a top priority, and at Sygma, we are committed to providing reliable, compliant solutions to give you complete peace of mind.
Fire Safety Solutions for Educational Premises
At Sygma, we provide a comprehensive range of fire safety solutions, including fire alarms, emergency lighting, and extinguisher systems, to protect your school, college, or university. We also offer flexible service and maintenance packages, so you can focus on running your educational facility without worrying about whether your fire safety systems are fully operational.
Sygma’s fire safety solutions for educational premises help with early fire detection, emergency preparedness, and regulatory compliance. Schools and colleges face unique fire risks, and having reliable systems in place can prevent serious incidents, safeguard students and staff, and minimise property damage.
Installing fire alarms, emergency lighting, and fire extinguishers ensures the safety of everyone on site, helps you meet legal obligations, and provides peace of mind knowing your facility is protected against fire hazards.
Benefits of Fire Safety Solutions in Educational Premises
Protect Students and Staff
Fire alarms, emergency lighting, and extinguisher systems help ensure the safety of everyone on site. Early detection and prompt response can prevent injuries and protect lives.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Installing and maintaining fire safety systems ensures your school or college meets legal obligations and safety regulations, reducing the risk of fines or enforcement action.
Minimise Property Damage
Properly installed fire safety solutions can detect and respond to fires early, helping to reduce damage to buildings, equipment, and educational resources.
Compliance with Fire Safety Regulations and Standards
Fire safety in educational premises must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to protect students, staff, and visitors. This means the following guidelines must be followed:
- Carry out regular fire risk assessments – Update whenever building use or layout changes.
- Install and maintain fire alarms and emergency lighting – Ensure systems meet British Standards and are tested regularly.
- Conduct fire drills and staff training – Everyone on site must know evacuation routes and procedures.
- Maintain fire safety equipment – Fire doors, extinguishers, and lighting must be inspected and kept in working order.
Comprehensive Fire Safety Solutions for Educational Facilities
We offer a comprehensive range of fire safety solutions to meet the needs of schools, colleges, and universities. These include everything from reliable fire alarms and emergency lighting to fully integrated, state-of-the-art systems designed to protect people and facilities.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Conventional systems divide educational premises into broad zones, with detectors and call points wired to a central panel. While cost-effective for straightforward layouts, they only indicate the zone of activation—not the exact device or location.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Each detector and call point in an addressable system has its own unique electronic address. The control panel indicates precisely which device has triggered, enabling faster, more accurate responses—ideal for larger, complex buildings like schools or universities.
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
Wireless systems use secure radio signals instead of cabling, making them easier and cleaner to install—especially useful in listed, historic, or hard-to-wire buildings. Despite the lack of cables, they offer the same high reliability as wired systems.
Reliable System Performance
Regular servicing keeps your fire alarm equipment in top condition, reduces false alarms, and ensures everything works correctly in an emergency.
Compliance with Regulations
Our maintenance services align with UK fire safety legislation and British Standard BS 5839-1, helping your school or business stay legally compliant.
Flexible Maintenance Packages
Sygma offers a choice of packages, including our Platinum plan, with scheduled preventative visits, expert engineer support, and even free loan equipment during repairs.
Fire Risk Assessments for Educational Premises
Carrying out fire risk assessments is a legal requirement for all educational premises and is vital to keeping students, staff, and visitors safe. At Sygma, our certified assessors provide full assessments, detailed reports, and practical recommendations to help schools, colleges, and universities remain compliant and protected.
Comprehensive Assessments
We survey your educational premises to identify fire hazards, at-risk groups, and the effectiveness of existing safety measures.
Clear Reporting
Every assessment includes a detailed written report, a bespoke fire safety policy, an emergency plan, and an on-site logbook to support compliance in the education sector.
Ongoing Compliance
Our team ensures your assessments are regularly reviewed and updated when building use or layouts change, keeping your school or campus fully compliant with the Fire Safety Order 2005.
