do we have to have a death before action is taken?

More than 1,000 pupils are off school for the foreseeable future after a suspected arson attack destroyed almost half a secondary school.

About 30 firefighters were still at the Sidney Stringer School in Cox Street, Coventry, on Wednesday morning. Which started at 1530 BST on Tuesday.

Around 40% of the school is thought to have been wrecked in the fire, could your school still operate if this happened to you? 

Initial findings led firefighters to believe the blaze was suspicious, can you produce the evidence to say all has been done to reduce remove or replace potential hazards?

Nearby residents were asked to keep their windows and doors closed overnight because of the threat of asbestos dust from the fire, is your asbestos log up to date?.

Pupils were led out of the affected building as crews arrived it sounds as if the school fire policy worked would yours?

There were no reports of anyone being injured in the incident, what would happen if their was a casualty?

We know fires occur we can prevent them or at least reduce the risk, at PSC we see everyday silly mistakes being made it is no good after the event take action now.

We have our cd rom based fire risk assessment products from £69.99 this helps you train staff and complete an assessment yourself, or we can visit your site and write your policy train your staff and provide the evidence the fire brigade will want to see when they do a fire check.

This is not a threat recently 4 schools that PSC have helped have had dates confirmed they are going to be visited, we await the results.

Don't become the next headline I am sure the headteacher at the above school would prefer to be teaching today not meeting the council.
