Educational institutions have a high footfall every day, regardless of whether they are kindergartens, schools or universities. In addition to the educational mission, the protection of all persons present is the responsibility of every educational institution, including preventive fire protection.
More safety in the building
A safe educational facility requires a mix of different fire protection measures. In addition to structural requirements (e.g. escape and rescue routes) and technical fire protection equipment (such as fire detection and alarm systems), organizational fire protection measures are fundamental.
Evacuation drills, fire safety education and fire safety and evacuation assistants are therefore an important part of effective fire safety in educational institutions.
Fire safety regulations for educational institutions
Fire protection in educational facilities is based on the individual protection goals, the state building regulations and the model school building guidelines.
At the same time, educational facilities are often considered special buildings, meaning that further requirements apply in accordance with the special building regulations of each federal state. For example, a fire protection concept is generally required and must be updated in the event of conversions. In addition, schools, for example, are obliged to draw up an alarm plan and carry out alarm drills.
