Fire Safety in Education | from legal duties to practical protection

Fire incidents in education settings don’t just damage buildings – they disrupt learning, create serious safeguarding risks, trigger enforcement action and can cause long-term reputational harm.

This free one-hour webinar, WorkNest’s Director of Health & Safety Services and former HSE Inspector, Nick Wilson, and Head of Fire Safety,  Jeff Watkins, will explain what effective fire safety management looks like in education settings, where they commonly fall short, and what you can do now to close gaps before an inspection identifies them.
