FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT GUIDANCE NOTES This Fire Risk Assessment has been compiled and formulated as required by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, The Fire & Rescue Services (NI) Order 2006 and The Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations (Northern Ireland Only). It has been constructed to be used as a tool for the safe management of a work place. To use the Risk Assessment effectively follow the points below: 1. Read the risk summary as a snap shot of the premises on the day of the Fire Risk Assessment. Recommendations from the Action Plan may have already been implemented by the time you read this. 2. The Risk Assessment is broken into the following twelve sections. 3. The Action Plan is the observations and recommendations of the Fire Assessor using their competence and experience to ensure the most pragmatic approach is applied to all significant findings. a. Read the Action Plan in its entirety as some actions may have an impact on other recommendations. b. Once the recommended action has been completed, the responsible person must sign and date the page relating to the non conformity this will then be automatically stored in the Archive Section which provides an audit trail. 4. It is essential that the Fire Log Book is maintained by the Responsible Person, to ensure that all tests, maintenance, practice drills and periods of instruction are recorded. If used as designed, this will then prove to be an invaluable Management tool. 5. If there are any material changes to the structure, layout, use of the building, type of business or changes in the number of staff then a new Fire Risk Assessment must be carried out.the Fire Risk Assessment should be reviewed by a competent person by the review date or at such earlier time as there is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid or there have been significant changes to the premises, the occupancy or its use. It is recommended to have a review carried out annually to ensure all fire safety measures and practices are being adhered to. Copyright FCS Live Ltd 2017 Page 3 of 30

The site is split into two separate buildings, the older castle building is thought date back to the 19th century. Set over three floors, the ground floor consists of the reception, canteen/kitchen, library and student computer room. The first floor consisting of classrooms, prayer room, store room and various offices. The second floor consists of classrooms and two offices. There is one internal escape route, but a further escape route from the second floor. The new building was handed over in 2012, this was built at the higher level of the site and overlooks the older building. Set over three floors and an additional roof plant room. The ground floor consists of offices, prep room, store room and classrooms. The property is fitted with an external cladding the assessor was informed that the cladding used has a rating of B S1 D0, this cladding is very low risk. The first floor consists of classrooms, offices, common areas. The second floor consists of prep rooms, classrooms and a common area. The new building has one accommodation staircase and two protected staircases at either end of the building for safe evacuation. These areas contain refuge points. The old building is constructed of what appears to be brick and block work, concrete flooring, with a mixture of pitched slate roof on timber frame and flat roof areas. The new building is purpose built, with a brick and block construction and solid concrete floors. The internal partitions appear to be masonry/plasterboard on wooden stud and the internal fire spread of linings on the escape, circulation routes and other areas appears to be Class 0. Due to the layout of the buildings and number of exits which all discharge to a place of ultimate safety, travel distances appear to be compliant with current guidance, thereby being suitable and sufficient for the numbers present. (Hours of operation) The building is staffed between the hours of approximately 7am 6pm (Evacuation in the event of fire) The layout and occupancy of the site will allow the implementation of a simultaneous evacuation strategy. All internal and immediate external areas. Copyright FCS Live Ltd 2017 Page 4 of 30

Person(s) consulted: Dave Sumner Legislation: The Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order 2005 applies to these premises with guidance taken from the government GLG guide for Educational Premises and all relevant British Standards Enforced by: Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service Other legislation that makes significant requirements for fire precautions in these premises: None. Taking into account the fire prevention measures observed at the time of this risk assessment, it is considered that the hazard from fire (likelihood of fire) at these premises is medium; normal fire hazards (e.g. potential ignition sources) for this type of occupancy, with fire hazards generally subject to appropriate controls (other than minor shortcomings). Taking into account the nature of the building and the occupants, as well as the fire protection and procedural arrangements observed at the time of this fire risk assessment, it is considered that the consequences for life safety in the event of fire would be moderate harm; outbreak of fire could foreseeable result in injury (including serious injury) of one or more occupants, but it is unlikely to involve multiple fatalities. Accordingly, it is considered that the risk to life from fire at these premises is moderate; it is essential that efforts be made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period. Occupancy: Approximate maximum number: 350 Approximate maximum number of employees at any one time: Days: 60 Nights: 0 Sleeping occupants: 0 Disabled occupants: 0 Occupants in remote areas and lone workers: There is no lone working on site Young persons: Occasionally young persons would attend site, but this accompanied with older family members. Others: *Contractors, visitors. *The assessor was advised that only approved contractors are employed at the premises and RAMS are provided where deemed necessary. There is a 'Hot Works' policy in force, but this would rarely be used. Taking into consideration the information provided and what has been viewed by the assessor on site, it is felt that reasonable measures are/not taken to prevent fires of an electrical origin. Fixed installation periodically inspected and tested by: Contractor: Allen's Electrical NIC/EIC approved: Yes Last Test Date: 2016 Test Due: 2021 Note: No certification was seen by the assessor at the time of assessment. Portable appliance testing: Contractor: In house Last Test Date: Ongoing Testing frequency: Annually The assessor was advised that there is no requirement for employees to bring in any portable electrical appliances as the employer provides all required equipment on site, although the assessor did not see a formal policy to enforce this. The property is heated via Fixed heating installations are subject to regular maintenance: Contractor: Wemco Gas Safe/OFTEC: Yes Last service date: Copyright FCS Live Ltd 2017 Page 5 of 30

Last service date: There is a full commercial kitchen on site, the kitchen equipment is maintained on an annual basis and this includes a gas safety check. The filters are cleaned on a regular basis, this was evident due to the clean nature they were seen in at the time of assessment. The ductwork is deep cleaned on a regular basis by an external contractor, this contractor determines the time scale for the next clean depending on the system in place and the level of usage of the equipment. Contractor: Clean it all Last clean date: 22/04/2017 Next clean due: 22/04/2018 Dry Riser service: Contractor: Firewatch Southwest Ltd Last service date: 23/02/2017 Next service due: 23/02/2018 The assessor is of the opinion that reasonable measures are taken to prevent fires as a result of smoking. There is suitable 'No Smoking signage installed at the entrance to the premises and there was no evidence at the time of assessment to suggest any breach in the 'no smoking' policy. Sources of fuel: Wood Paperwork Cardboard Cooking oil Gas Chemicals located within science all of which have COSHH General cleaning materials At the time of assessment the risk assessor deemed that the general standard of housekeeping was acceptable, taking into consideration the building and its occupancy. There was no unnecessary accumulation of combustible materials or waste and as such the fire loading within the premises was at an acceptable level. There was storage of combustible materials located within the tower building boiler and server room, this should be removed as high risk areas should remain free of ignition sources. The furniture within the property appeared to be in good condition with no obvious damage and as such, the assessor is of the assumption that the furniture would comply with current regulations. In general a suitable and sufficient complement of portable fire extinguishers are appropriately located throughout the property in compliance with BS5306 8:2012. The fire extinguishers are visually inspected on a monthly basis by the end user and service annually by Firewatch South West Ltd There are no fire hydrants located directly on the site. Normal road hydrant water supplies are available for fire fighting purposes/operations. There is a reasonable manually operated non addressable fire detection & alarm system installed. The system appears to fall short of category L1 due to the lack of detection located within the new offices the assessor was informed that additional detection was to be installed in the near future to upgrade the system to comply with the recommendations of BS5839 1:2013 Category L1 and although no audibility test was carried out as part of this assessment, the assessor was advised that the alarm can be heard at all times and in all areas when actuated. The system is not monitored by an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). The fire alarms are tested weekly and serviced at intervals not exceeding 6 months by Waldons. Due to the new office areas located within the new building there are a number of areas which now fall short, Dave Sumner informed the assessor that additional detection was booked in to be installed by Waldons. It would appear that the emergency lighting is installed in general compliance with the recommendations of BS5266 1:2012. The emergency lighting is function tested on a monthly basis and maintained on an annual basis be Allen's electrical. The general standard of structural compartmentation appeared acceptable, although no intrusive survey was completed by the assessor. A large number of classroom fire doors were lacking heat and smoke seals, this would therefore allow ffor the passage of fire and smoke into other areas of the building. The server room located within the new building contains breaches this could allow for the passage of fire and smoke into other areas of the building. The electrical cupboard located on the ground floor beneath the wooden staircase of the tower building is not lined with suitable fire resisting material. It is deemed by the assessor that the building is provided with reasonable means of escape in case of fire. There are adequate escape routes provided taking into consideration the building size, occupancy any operations. All exits have the facility to be suitably secured and were easily operable at the time of assessment. As mentioned in the previous assessment the external escape staircase from the new building down to ground floor is for the most part 1100mm wide, but at its narrowest 930mm. Using the CLG guides' the means of escape would only be suitable for 115 persons to travel though the narrowest point, so taking this into consideration the potential occupancy of the building being up to 300 in the future and others using the route that are escaping from the Castle building, this would be deemed unacceptable. This work has been quoted and accepted but the works have not yet begun. Arson is the largest cause of workplace fires and should always be a consideration for a premise. There was no unnecessary external fire loading in close proximity to the premises and there were no pallets or skips stored within 10 meters of the building at the time of assessment. The assessor was advised that there have been no recent records known of any vandalism and/or arson attempts in the surrounding area. Copyright FCS Live Ltd 2017 Page 6 of 30

SECTION 2: RISK ASSESSMENT 01 Persons at Risk It is important to consider all relevant persons that use the premises. This will include persons that use the building on a day to day basis such as staff or residents but also any persons that visit the premises on temporary basis such as visitor or contractors. Particular care should be taken to identify any risks to vulnerable persons such as those with disabilities or young persons. Action Sub Section Question Answer Status Plan 01 Young Persons 02 Persons with Special Needs 03 Members of the Public 04 Occupancy Numbers Are young persons in the premises? Are persons with special needs in the premises? Are members of the public present in the premises?

Young persons are present and the Responsible Person has completed a risk assessment of the premises and risks present. There are no persons with special needs present at the time of this fire risk assessment. Members of the public are present and the Responsible Person has suitable and sufficient policies and procedures in place. The occupancy capacity, width of escape routes and exits appear to be sufficient. At the time of this fire risk assessment Company policy prohibits the practice of lone working. N/A N/A 02 Sources of Ignition The premises is assessed to identify all potential ignition sources that may be the cause of a fire. Examples of Ignition sources can be any heat generating equipment such as portable heaters, cooking equipment and power tools. Fixed installations and portable electrical equipment can also be an ignition source if they are misused or not maintained.

Potential sources of ignition present are adequately controlled. F Non_ 03 Sources of Fuel In order for a fire to develop the presence of fuel is required. By managing the quantity, type and location of combustible materials the risk of a fire developing can be greatly reduced. The storage of combustible materials within the escape routes or places of high fire risk such as boiler rooms or electrical cupboards must be prevented. Sub Section Question Answer Action Plan Status 01 Housekeeping Are house keeping arrangements satisfactory? Housekeeping arrangements appear to be satisfactory. 04 Construction The fire protection of the building is required to ensure that fire is unable to spread and also to prevent premature collapse in the event of fire. It means that the occupants can safely exit the premises without undue risk, whilst it is not perceived that any building should be sacrificed it is always possible to avoid the loss of the premises. Action Sub Section Question Answer Status Plan 01 Structural Elements 02 Lift Shafts 03 Protected Shafts 04 Concealed Spaces Cavities 05 Protected Stairways 06 Higher Risk Areas 07 Surface Spread of Flame Are the fire resisting and separating walls and floors in good condition? Are the lifts contained within protected shafts? Are the escalators, chutes, ducts and pipes contained within protected shafts? Are the concealed spaces or cavities protected with suitable cavity barriers? Are the stairways within the building required for means of escape adequately enclosed with fire resisting construction? Are areas of higher risk and places of special fire hazard sufficiently separated from the remainder of the building by fire resisting construction? Are the materials used to line walls and ceilings of the correct surface spread of flame classification in accordance with the Approved Document B of the Building Regulations? The fire resisting walls and floors appear to be of an acceptable standard. The lifts are contained within a protected shaft. The services are contained within protected shafts. The installation of cavity barriers is not required or the age of the building predates the requirement. The stairways are enclosed throughout their height to an acceptable standard. Places of special fire hazard such as server rooms, are not enclosed with fire resisting construction. The materials lining the walls and ceilings are deemed to be of an acceptable standard.

05 Means of Escape To ensure a safe escape the escape routes must be protected from smoke, heat and flames. The distance that occupants have to travel must also be regulated to ensure that the distance people have to travel to safety is within the prescribed guidelines. Action Sub Section Question Answer Status Plan 01 Means of Escape for the Disabled 03 Escape routes and travel distances from within a storey 04 Occupancy Numbers 05 Protected Corridors 06 Escape from Inner Rooms 07 Accommodation Lifts and Stairways 08 Protected Stairways 09 External Stairways 10 Escape Route across a flat roof 11 Fireresisting doors 11 Fireresisting doors 11 Fireresisting doors 12 Fireresisting partitions 13 General Doors 14 Housekeeping Are there adequate arrangements for the evacuation of disabled people? Are the escape routes for all the building occupants acceptable? Are the escape routes sufficient in number and travel distance from any point within the floor area to the nearest storey exit, having due regard to the layout of walls, partitions and fittings within current guidance? Is the occupancy level for the premises acceptable? Are the protected corridors suitable and sufficient to allow the occupants to reach a storey exit safely? Is the escape from inner rooms acceptable? Are the accommodation lifts and or stairways positioned so that they do not impact on the escape routes from upper floors? Do the protected stairways offer sufficient and suitable protection to ensure the safe escape of all occupants? Is the external stairways provision sufficient and does it afford suitable protection to the occupants to ensure their safe escape? Is the escape route across a flat roof acceptable? Do the fire resisting door sets meet the appropriate standard? Do the fire resisting door sets meet the appropriate standard? Do the fire resisting door sets meet the appropriate standard? Are the fire resisting partitions present installed and maintained to the appropriate standards? Are the doors required to form part of the escape route in an emergency? Are house keeping arrangements satisfactory? No disabled persons present at the time of this fire risk assessment. The premises are multi occupancy and the means of escape from each occupancy is considered satisfactory. The travel distance to the nearest storey exit is within current guidance. The occupancy capacity and width of escape routes and exits appear to be sufficient. All protected corridors are adequate to allow the occupants to reach a storey exit safely. Escape from inner rooms is acceptable. The position of accommodation lifts and or stairways is such that they do not prejudice the escape from upper floors. Sufficient and protected stairways have been provided to ensure safe escape of all the occupants. The external escape staircase from the new building down to ground floor is for the most part 1100mm wide, but at its narrowest 930mm. Using the CLG guides' the means of escape would only be suitable for 115 persons to travel though the narrowest point, so taking this into consideration the potential occupancy of the building being up to 300 in the future and others using the route that are escaping from the Castle building, this would be deemed unaccpetable. Flat roofs do not form part of the escape route. 02 Premises that are multioccupied NR 49 196 2 N/A Non_ A number of fire door/s require/s a self closing devices. 5.0.K Non_ A large number of fire door have not been provided with a means to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments.

N/A Copyright FCS Live Ltd 2017 Page 8 of 30

07 Fire Detection and Warning It is essential for the safe evacuation of building occupants that they have been made aware of a fire incident as soon as possible. This will allow the Fire Service to be contacted in the early stages of the fire and most importantly all the occupants should have left the building to a place of safety before the fire has had the chance to take a hold. It is vital that any early warning and detection system be installed and maintained to British Standards. Action Sub Section Question Answer Status Plan 03 Fire Detection and Warning System Provision 02 Fire Alarm Maintainence Is there an adequate method for raising the alarm and detecting a fire present in the premises?

The fire alarm system is routinely tested, inspected and maintained in accordance with current guidance. NR 51 204 1 Non_ 08 Emergency Lighting If the conventional lighting system fails in a building, an emergency lighting system may be required. The emergency lighting system should indicate the safe routes to and through the escape exits from the premises including any changes of direction or level en route. It can also be used to illuminate fire alarm call points, refuges and firefighting appliances. Action Sub Section Question Answer Status Plan 01 The Emergency Lighting System 02 Maintenance of Emergency Lighting Systems Is there an adequate method for illuminating the escape route and safety equipment in the premises? Is the emergency lighting system routinely tested, inspected and maintained in accordance with current guidance? It appears that the installed emergency lighting system will provide sufficient illumination (visual observation only, a physical test was not completed). The emergency lighting system is routinely tested, inspected and maintained in accordance with current guidance. 09 Firefighters Provisions As required under the Regulatory Reform Order (Fire Safety Act) consideration must be made to the effects of a fire in any given building to the Fire Service. Safety of the fire crews and their operational needs such as access, water supplies and building information must be reviewed and be made available for the Fire Service for consideration. Action Sub Section Question Answer Status Plan 01 Access for Fire Fighting 02 Firefighter Safety 03 Water Supplies 04 Rising Mains Have reasonable facilities and access for firefighters and fire appliances been provided to aid the protection of life?
