Fire at The Leith Academy in Edinburgh
A school in Scotland has been damaged after a fire broke out on the morning of 23rd November.
Firefighters attended the small fire at the Leith Academy in Edinburgh at 8.30am.
A spokesperson for Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service said: “There was a fire in a tumble dryer in the home economics department caused by over-heating. It was a small fire which was dealt with by isolating the power supply to the machine.”
One woman was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene but did not require hospital treatment.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that you: ‘must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed’
This means that all companies as a first point in their Fire Safety must complete a Fire Risk Assessment. This must be carried out by a competent person, who is trained to perform risk assessments. Your Fire Training needs, your fire extinguisher needs and any other fire safety related issues you will need to address will be highlighted from the Fire Risk Assessment.
Our team of experienced and qualified Fire Risk Assessors will perform a full Fire Risk Assessment of your premises, and provide you with a comprehensive document detailing the risks found and recommendations to minimise the risks.
