The Fire Safety Order or FSO (2005) places responsibility for fire safety in a building with the person who has day-to-day control of the premises.

In a school that person is often the head teacher or another responsible person.

This person may not be fully aware of their obligations or may be unfamiliar with the requirements for escape door compliance.

The purpose of this page is to help those responsible understand their obligations for meeting compliance standards and to outline common breaches of compliance.

Ensuring that your current service provider is specifying and installing to the standards referenced in the FSO, including the standards BS EN 179/BS EN 1125 and with building control approval, BS EN 13637, is an important part of due diligence.
